Amenorrhoea (Greek: a no; + men month; + rhoia flow) is the absence of
periods. This is a normal (physiological) occurrence in girls before puberty
(menarche to be absolutely precise), during pregnancy and breast feeding
(lactation) and following the menopause.
The physiology (normal body functioning) that results in
menstrual cycles is discussed in menstrual cycles.
