Amenorrhea / Delayed Menses

Amenorrhea refers to the absence or abnormal delay of menstrual periods in women of reproductive age. It can be primary, when menstruation fails to begin by age 16, or secondary, when periods stop for three months or more after previously being regular. The condition arises from hormonal imbalance, stress, anemia, malnutrition, thyroid disorders, excessive exercise, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Certain medications, emotional trauma, or sudden weight changes can also interfere with the menstrual cycle.

Homeopathy aims to restore the natural rhythm of menstruation by addressing the root cause—be it hormonal, emotional, or systemic. Remedies are chosen according to the woman’s physical constitution, menstrual history, emotional pattern, and accompanying symptoms. Unlike hormonal therapies, homeopathy gently stimulates the body’s own endocrine system to re-establish balance. With regular treatment, it helps regulate cycles, improve ovarian function, and enhance overall vitality.
