I have primary amenorrhea. i had anorexia age 15-17. i was healthy weight before and after yet never started. did anorexia affect primary amenorrhea?

Get tested: Fully half of those with primary amenorrhea have a chromosome defect like XO Turners syndrome.Others may have a partial or complete defect in the formation of the internal parts. There are other causes but your first step is to get in and be tested. Anorexia can alter the pattern, but you should have started by 15. (before your anorexia)
