A woman normally menstruates every 23 to 35 days. If she is on a child-bearing age and not pregnant but missed to menstruate for three or more consecutive periods, she may have secondary amenorrhea. On the other hand, primary amenorrhea, also called delayed menarche, happens when there is no first menstruation by the age of 13 or 16.
Primary amenorrhea is common among very athletic and underweight teenage girls. Delay in menstruation may also be caused by genetics, chronic illness, psychological issues, and delayed puberty. Secondary amenorrhea on the other hand, can be due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, stress, frequent strenuous exercise, rapid weight loss and chronic diseases.
