My menstration has stopped
May 12, 2004

I worked in a very physically demanding job, I lift approx. 3000 lbs in a days time (brick), can this cause my menstration to stop? I am not pregnant, and I am only 31 years old, and my mother and grandmother started menopause at 50 years old. My menstration started at 12 years old and I have had three children.

Response from Mr. Vergel

Talk to your doctor about it. Athlete women who exercise a lot may have this problem also, so it may be related to your work. But you need to go see a doctor soon.
