Is regular menstrual delay 4-5 months worrying?

Ask ‌
Doctor, I am 18 years old this year, I missed my period for 5 months and got 1 time. Since then, I have been counting for about 4 months without a period. I went to the doctor and they said that the egg was not ovulated, so I did not have a period. The doctor asked me if my period is often 4-5 months late, is it a concern? Will I be affected by this in the future?

Hi,
Many people subjectively think that the loss of menstruation is not dangerous, but in fact complications of amenorrhea can leave long-term consequences for women. In your case, if your period is more than 4 months late, it is irregular or irregular: it shows the time between 2 menstrual periods lasting 2 months, 3 months or the menstrual cycle is 5 months apart. The amount of menstrual blood is heavy, sometimes less, ... This may be a symptom of a certain disease, may be due to endocrine, may damage the female genital organs, overweight, stress..
If a woman does not ovulate and menstruate, she will not be able to get pregnant. At the same time, when amenorrhea due to low estrogen levels can also increase the risk of osteoporosis. Women who see abnormal signs such as 3 consecutive menstrual periods do not appear, 4 months without menstruation, should immediately go to the hospital to receive the advice of a doctor.
