Amenorrhea is the absence of a girl or woman’s menstrual cycle (period); for women, diagnosis is after 3 months without a period, and girls are diagnosed if they have not had a period by age 15. Causes range from pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause (natural amenorrhea) to medications and lifestyle conditions, like low body fat and excessive training or exercise for girls.
