How is amenorrhea diagnosed?

If you miss a period, contact your healthcare provider. Your provider will ask you about your symptoms and medical history. If amenorrhea occurred because of pregnancy, you can start prenatal care. If it’s happening because of menopause, there is help if symptoms are uncomfortable. Missed periods leading to menopause usually begin in your 40s. Your provider will perform a physical exam and a pelvic exam.
