Is there anything other than menopause or pregancy that can cause a woman to miss her period?

Answer 1

stress

Answer 2

Sometimes stress or a medical condition can cause this. How young is the woman? If it is a young woman, I would really get it checked out. Especially if its not pregnancy or the use of birth control. If you can afford it then go to the doc, if not call a nurses line and see what they suggest. They may have a few more possible causes. I have included a few links...check them out and see if they provide some comfort.

Answer 3

Irregular menstruation can be caused by numerous things including stress, exercise or sexually transmitted disease. You should always see a Dr. if you are more than a few weeks late and the pregnancy test comes back negative.

Answer 4

Yes, sometimes women just miss their periods now and again. It's perfectly normal unless it's an ongoing thing, in which case the woman should see a doctor.

HTH : )

Answer 5

Yes, lots of things. However, if her period has been very regular and suddenly she doesn't have it, consider testing for pregnancy.

In my case, I was very regular for years and suddenly stopped. Turned out that significant weight gain or loss over a 2 month period can also interfere with your period.

Answer 6

Being underweight and being under a huge amount of stress would do it. Ironically, if a woman feared she was pregnant and was freaking out about it hugely, that could actually delay it.

Answer 7

Some types of birth control will cause this

Answer 8

Stress-emotional or physical
Illness
severe weight loss or gain

Answer 9

Stress, too much exercise, strong emotional state, steroids, cysts, tumors. There may be more. Hope that helps you. God bless.
