Question Posted Thursday October 17 2013, 1:48 pm
Ok so I'm a 16 year old female. I started puberty 5 years ago and my period was always messed up. I never knew when I'd start. But I haven't started my period in what it feels like months. I'm a virgin so idk what could be wrong
It is imperative that you visit a gynecologist ASAP, as the longer you delay it, the more complicated it becomes. [ didz's advice column | Ask didz A Question ]

But I haven't heard of it continueing after 5 years like that. If you have no pain, likely there's no problem but the best thing to do would be to talk to mom and let her know if she doesnt. Find out if she had the same issues as a teen, perhaps it runs in the family. If she is also concerned, then it is best to go see a gynecologist. If your family doesnt have medical insurance, I am betting you can get the same exam to rule out any possible serious issues, by visiting a planned parenthood clinic or the equivalent type of clinic near you. They do a lot more than hand out birth control. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
