I have a friend who has cysts, but she has skipped her period...can the cysts stop her period?

I have polycystic ovarian disease.
This led to me also having a condition called secondary amenorrhea, where at first I would skip months of period and then have it regularly for a while. It then stopped for over 6 months. I went to the doctor to have it checked out and that is when I was diagnosed with PCOS.
My PCOS and ammenorrhea has been controlled by the birth control pill for many years now.
I was told by my doctor that it is very common for people who have conditions with cysts to have irregular periods.
If she is sexually active, the other explaination could be pregnancy.

Cysts can cause many problems with your period. I had one when I was 26. It caused me lots of pain, heavy periods, sometimes prolonged. Depending on whether it is large enough to remove, she needs to check it out and have it removed. If it's the dissolving type, then she should be on birth control to regulate her period. Hopefully she has gotten checked out by a doctor, OBGYN.

Yes my daughter has that and it does stop her from having a period.

Not for me.
But, I don't have real periods. Mine are induced by the pill.
It could definitely be the reason for her.
