Hello Doctor,
My period is 83 days late. What does this mean?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
A missed period lasting more than 6 weeks is typically considered significant. Given your young age, there are several potential causes for a delay of 83 days:
- Pregnancy: If you are sexually active, this is the most common reason for a missed period.
- Stress: High levels of stress can disrupt your menstrual cycle.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This hormonal disorder can lead to irregular or missed periods.
- Sudden Weight Loss: Rapid weight changes can impact your cycle.
- Overweight: Excess weight can also lead to irregular periods.
- Excessive Exercise: Strenuous exercise can affect your hormone levels and menstrual cycle.
- Contraceptive Pills: If you have been taking or recently stopped taking hormonal birth control, it may affect your periods.
Thanks
