There are several reasons why a menstrual period may be delayed or missed, including:

🌿 Stress

⚖️ Significant weight loss or weight gain

🏃 Excessive exercise

🩺 Hormonal conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

💊 Certain medications

🤰 Pregnancy

While an occasional missed period may not always be a cause for concern, repeated missed periods or periods that suddenly stop without an obvious reason should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Your menstrual cycle is an important indicator of your overall health. Paying attention to changes can help you identify when something may need medical attention.

💚 Remember: Every woman's cycle is different, but persistent changes shouldn't be ignored.
