Q: My menstruation stopped for 3 or 4 mos. but Im not pregnant.
Hi, Confused,
I don't think that you have reached menopause, but something is going on. I'm not a medical doctor, so the best source of information for you would be to make an appointment with your own doctor or OB/GYN to determine what's going on.
Take care and keep us posted!

Confusedwithhealth,
Please see an OB/GYN to find out what is wrong. This is not normal. It could be anything. Something like a blockage... So make sure you see the doctor. You need to worry about serious illness and rule it out ASAP and get treatments ASAP.
Take care,
NC
You don't say how old you were when your periods started or if they were regular every month before October. It's not terribly uncommon for a young woman your age to be irregular, even skipping several periods. However, it can also be a sign of various health issues, probably the most common being thyroid. I would recommend you see your primary care doctor for a basic evaluation. He/She then can determine if you need to see a specialist.
