Specializes in Gynecology

Medical bleeding: Birth control or hormone pills can induce medication withdrawal bleeding depending upon the the thickness of the lining of the uterus. A woman of reproductive age with no periods for six months deserves an evaluation to determine the cause. Some causes of no menstrual periods may be important.
