Amenorrhea, should I be worried?

I haven't gotten my period in almost 3 months. I'm a long distance runner and I read that it can happen to women that exercise too much. I read that I could have bone density problems or something if it continues. I don't know whether I should just wait it out or if it's worth seeing a doctor about it. It's probably just from the exercise and stress.

It's definitely worth seeing a doctor about. Menstrual periods stop after excessive exercise or sudden weight loss.It can affect having kids in the future if it persists, so it's better to get it treated right away.
It might be a matter of changing your exercise routine. You can also take pills such as birth control to regulate it.

Extreme athletic stress will mess up a woman's cycles. Stop stressing yourself like that! Your body is trying to tell you something.

i say you should see a doctor, but iv heard that people that exercise more get their periods less often. and mybe you could slow down on the exercise alittle bit too because the more yuo exercise the faster it comes out, and well, maybe you just got rid of it all.

It could be that your pyrethium is not functioning as it should. The jostling of running can cause it to go into partial dormancy. Although it generally is not serious, there can be side effects such as enhanced body and facial hair growth, and slight sensitivity to bright light.
