Amenorrhea is when a female misses more than one menstrual cycle. This does not apply to young girls who have not had their period longer than two years. Women who have missed at least three menstrual cycles in a row have amenorrhea, as do girls who have never started their period and have reached the age of 16.

A menstrual period for a female is the beginning of going from adolescent to an adult. When puberty begins your body starts to release hormones. The hormones created and used in the menstrual cycle are in preparation for your body to be able to hold a child.
