Hello! I am a 17 year old girl. My problem is that my menses stopped. It last came to me in early July. I'm terribly worried, I just can't sleep at night. But I can't tell my mother, at least not yet, because she will get angry and ruin with grief, she's lonely and she only has me and my little brother. I think it's because I lost weight. By spring I was about 54 kg. and by July I was 46. I am about 164 cm tall. I pretty much limited sweets and all kinds of harmful things, I started to play sports actively, you could say that I followed a diet. Please don't blame me, I know I wasn't fat at all, I was obviously caught by that stupid disease of girls who want to be like skeletons ... Now I'm 48-49 kg. I eat normally, but I still stick to a healthy lifestyle and exercise. My mother scolded me a lot for that and she still scolds me and keeps saying that my cycle can stop. That's why I don't want to tell her now ... Please just don't blame me, I know I made a mistake and now I'm suffering and maybe it would be best to tell my mother, but I just can't. Just give me some advice on how to make it come to me, some MEDICINE or medicine, whatever. I'm very scared, help me ..

Congratulations on realizing your mistake. Be sure to get a referral for a gynecologist from the GP. We will hardly give you adequate advice here. It must be done by a doctor. This is dangerous and can have serious consequences. MUST be examined.
Tell your mother and go to the doctor. There is no such thing as "medicine or cure" for the nonsense you have done. Probably your diet has ruined your body and your hormones have gone wild. They will probably return to normal over time. But you need to talk to a doctor and your mother!
If you tell your mother, start by not being pregnant. If you start with "my cycle stopped", you can get a heart attack. But in principle you can go to the doctor without telling her.
I had the same problem once, I experienced a lot of stress and it just stopped. I went to the doctor and the doctor gave me some pills to challenge him and things got better. At 17, you don't need to tell your mother, just go to the doctor and explain what worries you, most likely it's really because of losing weight and overdoing sports. My cousin was in the swimming team and before competitions, because of the intensive training, she regularly stopped the cycle, stopping to compete and train actively, things got better. Don't worry! It can happen to anyone. You just have to challenge it with expenses, but they are given with a prescription, and the doctor will tell you which ones are best for you.
You certainly have a GP. You go, get a referral to a gynecologist (and without that it's time to do preventive examinations at this age) and go for an examination. If you haven't been before, you can ask the GP to recommend a good specialist and go to him in the future, as this is an integral part of a woman's life and health care. Don't panic, but still take the problem seriously, because it's too early for you to have hormonal disorders. It is quite possible for the cycle to stop with a strict diet. Sex hormones are synthesized from cholesterol, which in turn enters the body through food and in particular fat. It is debatable what this healthy diet is, even more controversial is how you imagine it. Start eating raw nuts, olive oil and fresh fish. If these foods are missing from your diet, it is very possible that this is the problem. Otherwise, avoiding junk food and exercising are very good things. Don't give up sports. Good luck
If you have sex and think that this fact will harm your mother, do not tell her about the problem. But go to the doctor MANDATORY! I don't think you should hide it from her (that he stopped your cycle) because it's a problem and even if it's not serious it's still a problem and your mother should know, but you know. Now I am 20 years old, when I was 16 I was 56 kg and in about 2 months I became 47-48 without restrictions only sports! But this did not affect my menstruation at all and many of my acquaintances did not have this problem when losing weight and I think the probability of stopping menstruation because of this is small. You can't go on like this, go to the doctor and see what the problem is. I will add that if you do not tell your mother she will be furious because you did not tell her .. just imagine if she finds the pills prescribed by your doctor how she will feel, but you know.
Hello Sweetie. Yes, it is good to go to the doctor, but do not stress unnecessarily. I am 19 and by the age of 18 my cycle was terribly irregular. Sometimes it came to me twice a month and then skipped for 5-6 months. Now everything is normal. Calm down. Athletes have many such problems when it comes to losing weight. Wait until the end of the year and see a doctor. I am now a medical student and I can safely tell you not to worry, I asked associate professors and professors because I was like that. It's all about hormones and you lose weight. Good luck!!!
