Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi, this is my first post here (I'm from Houston, Texas, USA), but this question caught my eye. Nkem, your friend could have any number of causes for her missing periods. Is she on birth control pills? Has she gained or lost a lot of weight recently? Bodyfat changes cause fluctuations in hormones that can cause women to miss periods, whether she's has very low bodyfat or has rapid weight gain. Also, stress cannot be overemphasized as a major player in women's cycles. Whether it's skipping periods, breakthrough bleeding, heavy flow or cramps, stress can trigger or worsen any number of hormonal imbalances. Thyroid or pituitary imbalances can also be causes. The endocrine system is interdependent; when there's an imbalance in one gland it causes imbalances in other glands, sometimes to the point it's difficult to determine which is the root cause of the problem. Though I'm not necessarily a big fan of doctors, but in this situation if your friend hasn't had a gynecological exam in a while, it's probably the best thing to do to be sure that there's no major problem and to rule out fibroids or other growths. Especially if she skips another period. There are dozens of natural things your friend can do to balance her hormones and to bring on a period, but I really encourage her to see a gyn for a pelvic exam. It's probably nothing to be concerned about, but she can't solve the problem without knowing what it is. Sending healing light and blessings for her, and for you too!
