The answer

TeenHealth FX understands how confusing that can be! Unfortunately, TeenHealth FX cannot diagnose or treat over the internet. There are many different reasons why someone can experience a missed period for an extended amount of time. We highly suggest going to a doctor to help you narrow down the reasons and treat your situation. A gynecologist, a doctor that specializes in the female productive system, can be the best option to help you understand your situation.

If you still have concerns and need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
