I am 17 years old and I havent had a period in over a year. I am not nor have ever been sexually active, and am still a virgin. I also have been experiencing a little facial hair that seems abnormal. seeing as I have never been to the female doctor, I havent been told of anything and cant afford to go without insurance. I just want some insight from anyone who is or has experienced what I am going through. My biggest fear is not being able to have children in the future. I hope to fix this so that I am able to do so.
Hi Riah,
You're experiencing amenorrhea, absence of your period. It may be a hormonal issue. The facial hair that you notice is another clue.
I can understand that you don't have insurance but you should see your doctor. It is important to identify the cause.
Polycystic Ovary Syndome, PCOS, can be a possible cause. If so, you do want to see your doctor ASAP. It can cause ovarian cysts and lead to other issues.
Good luck.
