Period stopped for a year then started again one month than What is wrong?

Amenorrhea is the absence of menstrual bleeding for at least 90 days in a woman of reproductive age. Women over 40 years old can be considered postmenopausal after 12 consecutive months without a period.

Possible causes of amenorrhea include pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, pituitary gland disorders, uterine abnormalities, and certain medications (such as birth control pills). Stress, weight loss, and excessive exercise can also cause amenorrhea.

If your period has stopped for a year then started again for one month, you should see a doctor to rule out any underlying health problems. Your doctor will ask about your medical history and symptoms, and may perform a physical exam and order blood tests and/or imaging tests to diagnose the cause of your amenorrhea.

Treatment for amenorrhea will depend on the underlying cause. If your amenorrhea is caused by a hormonal imbalance, your doctor may prescribe birth control pills or other hormonal therapy to regulate your menstrual cycle. If your amenorrhea is caused by a thyroid problem, you may need to take thyroid medication. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct uterine abnormalities.
