Symptom #6: Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation in females who are in their reproductive age. Normal amenorrhea occurs in lactation, pregnancy, and in some forms of contraception. Amenorrhea can be divided into primary and secondary amenorrhea.
Primary amenorrhea occurs when the menstrual cycles never started. Secondary amenorrhea occurs when the menstruation ceases. This can occur in hormonal disturbances, low body weight, untreated celiac disease, stress, and more. It can also be seen among women with hereditary hemochromatosis.
