Dear I Haven't Gotten My Period in 3/4 Months. Should I Be Worried?,

It is great that you are aware of your body and your menstruation cycles! It is important to keep track of our bodies cycle and be in tune with ourselves. It is a form of self-care to know and listen to one’s own body.

There are many things that can come into play and disrupt the menstruation cycle. For instance, stress, medications, diet etc. can all impact it. However, it is just as important to be seen by a trusted physician, your primary care doctor or OB-GYN (a doctor who specializes in female reproductive systems) annually and when any changes you experience occur to ensure you get the best possible care, answers, and support you need.  It’s the best way to care for ourselves, especially when we feel concerned that something is off.

If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
