Is it serious if I don't have my period for half a year?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that occurs almost every month in female bodies starting from puberty. Basically, after a woman has her first menstrual period, she will have it almost every month thereafter. However, because menstruation has a great relationship with women's physical health, normal menstruation for women is also very important. But some women experience irregular menstruation, or even no menstruation for half a year. Is this serious?

1. Affect women's physical and mental health. When women have irregular menstruation, their skin will have obvious spots, sagging, dullness, enlarged pores, roughness, constant acne, sagging and atrophy of breasts, age spots, dry vulva, loss of libido, obvious decline and weakening of female secondary sexual characteristics, and premature menopause.

2. Irregular menstruation can cause headaches. Headache is a common disease. Women are more likely to experience this symptom than men. This is related to women's unique physiological characteristics. Epidemiological survey results show that menstruation-related headaches account for about 20% of women's headaches, which is also the impact of irregular menstruation on women.

3. Hemorrhagic anemia. The harm of irregular menstruation may lead to hemorrhagic anemia due to long-term excessive menstruation or irregular bleeding, and cause dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath and other phenomena. In severe cases, it may be life-threatening.

4. Cause the condition to worsen. Many women's menstrual disorders are caused by certain gynecological diseases, the most common of which are uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. If not treated in time, the condition will worsen and increase the difficulty of treatment. This is also one of the hazards of irregular menstruation.

5. Cause infertility. Irregular menstruation will not lead to infertility, but it is often caused by gynecological diseases. If these diseases are not treated in time, they will lead to infertility, which is the most important harm of irregular menstruation.

From the above we can see that not having menstruation for half a year is very harmful, including the possibility of suffering from headaches, causing hemorrhagic anemia, and even leading to female infertility. Therefore, we recommend that female friends who have not had their periods for a long time should pay attention to it and choose reliable medical intervention as soon as possible. Menstrual disorders and other diseases can be cured.
