A woman may miss her period for various reasons other than pregnancy. Here are ten possible causes:
- Stress: High stress levels can affect the hormonal balance, leading to missed periods.
- Weight Changes: Significant weight loss, gain, or an eating disorder can disrupt the menstrual cycle.
- Excessive Exercise: Intense physical activity can interfere with the hormones responsible for menstruation.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This condition causes hormonal imbalances that can result in irregular or missed periods.
- Thyroid Issues: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can affect menstrual regularity.
- Chronic Illness: Ongoing medical conditions can disrupt normal menstrual cycles.
- Medications: Certain medications, especially hormonal contraceptives or those affecting the endocrine system, can cause missed periods.
- Perimenopause: The transition period before menopause can lead to irregular cycles.
- Travel or Lifestyle Changes: Significant changes in daily routine, such as traveling across time zones, can affect the menstrual cycle.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Imbalances in hormones like prolactin or cortisol can cause missed periods.
