A member asked:
Might folic acid deficiency cause periods to stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It shouldn't: Folate (folic acid) deficiency is associated with anemia (low hemoglobin, which is a protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen.) it is not a cause of amenorrhea. Far and away the most common cause of absent periods is pregnancy, but it can be cause by lots of other things, including hormonal imbalance.
