Amenorrhea is your body trying to call out for help. Did you know that when you have no period it means your not ovulating and this is a key into your overall health? This means you are not producing enough estrogen and progesterone which are curtail to women's overall health. Women have lack of periods due to low body fat, stress, endocrine disorders and birth controls. Your body is trying to tell you something is wrong.

The biggest one is our bones. Women who go without a period for extended period of time have substantial bone loss, something you can’t get back. There is an major risk of developing Osteoporosis very early. No period also effects our muscles, women who have no period snuggle with muscle loss.
