Sante pure barley can cure amenorrhea? Amenorrhea can happen for many reasons. It most often occurs as a natural part of life, such as during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but it can also signal a more serious condition. What causes primary amenorrhea? There are three main causes of primary amenorrhea: Chromosomal or genetic abnormalities can cause the ovaries to stop functioning normally. Turner syndrome, a condition caused by a partially or completely missing X chromosome, and androgen insensitivity syndrome, often characterized by high levels of testosterone, are two examples of genetic abnormalities that can delay or disrupt menstruation.1 Hypothalamic (pronounced hahy-poh-thuh-LAM-ik) or pituitary (pronounced pi-TOO-i-ter-ee) problems in the brain and physical problems such as problems with reproductive organs can prevent periods from starting. Excessive exercise, eating disorders, extreme physical or psychological stress, or a combination of these factors can delay the onset of menstruation.
