Hello doctor,
I am 18 and I have never had period but sometimes I feel like something wants to come but it does not come. I had puberty hair and underarms hair two years back.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is called primary amenorrhea and it is a complex problem for which you need full assessment with all blood tests and ultrasounds and even more to rule out the cause and find a diagnosis what actually is going on inside. And sometimes it usually runs in families like if your mother or sister also had delayed periods then that could be another cause. But I would suggest you to see a gynecologist for further evaluation.
