Missed periods (secondary amenorrhea)
in Women's Health ·
I am 23 years old and have been dealing with amenorrhea for four and a half years now. About three and a half years ago, I was also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 🙂. My gynecologist suggested the missing periods might be a direct consequence of the diabetes, but my endocrinologist disagrees; they pointed out that the diabetes diagnosis came a full year after my cycle had already stopped. I don't have PCOS, and according to my tests, my organs are functioning normally—it is simply that my period refuses to return. My estradiol and FSH levels are extremely low. I underwent hormone replacement therapy for six months, but it was entirely ineffective; if anything, it made things worse. The treatment actually caused my liver enzymes to spike, which has left me feeling quite skeptical about further hormonal interventions. I am wondering if anyone here has faced a similar situation and managed to find a solution, and if so, what worked for you?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated 🙂😍😉.
