What is amenorrhea?

Amenorrhea is when you don’t get your monthly period. It can be temporary or permanent. Amenorrhea can result from a change in function or a problem with some part of the female reproductive system.

There are times when you’re not supposed to get your period, such as before puberty, during pregnancy and after menopause. If amenorrhea lasts for more than three months, it should be investigated.
