Experts also say that women who suffer from eating disorders like anorexia nervosa or bulimia also have irregular periods. When your body does not get enough nourishment and you restrict the number of calories you eat, it restrains the release of hormones that your body needs for ovulation.
Other causes of missed periods include thyroid, pituitary gland disorders, breastfeeding,obesity, oal contraceptives (although most birth control pills just make the periods lighter, rather than stopping them entirely), stress, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, hormone imbalances, Ovarian failure or disease of the uterus.
