Amenorrhea is the medical name for the absence of menstruation for a prolonged time (usually 3 months or more). This can happen for various reasons: excessive stress, very intense physical exercise, sudden weight changes, or some hormonal issue. If your period has disappeared and you are not pregnant, it's important to talk to a gynecologist to understand what your body is trying to say. It's like a warning signal asking for a bit more balance in your life!
