What diseases will I get if I don't have my period?

For women, menstruation is a normal physiological condition, but not having menstruation is an abnormal condition. Because women's menstruation is closely related to their fertility, if they do not have menstruation, it is likely that there is a problem with their fertility. Moreover, most women will be very worried that they have some disease when they find that they are not having their period. So what diseases can the absence of menstruation lead to?

Primary amenorrhea is caused by congenital abnormalities in the development of reproductive organs or acquired organic damage, and cannot be effectively treated with drugs.

Amenorrhea is caused by the following reasons: systemic diseases, hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction or organic lesions, ovarian dysfunction or organic lesions, uterine, drug-induced, and other endocrine dysfunctions such as adrenal cortex dysfunction and thyroid dysfunction. In addition, hyperprolactinemia and polycystic ovary syndrome may also cause amenorrhea.
