Absence of menstruation (amenorrhea =) at the time when it should arrive, can mean either pregnancy or some gynecological disorders or diseases of different origin.
Wait a roughly 10 days if the menstruation appears late, and then go to your gynecologist.If you do not get otherwise regularly on a specific day, for example when using hormonal contraceptives, see your doctor sooner.

Menstruation disappears with menopause (around the age of 50 years), which may sometimes be premature at the extinction of ovarian function (premature ovarian failure before 40 years), or caused by gynecological operations. In early menopause, a woman should take hormone replacement therapy. If this is not the case and not the pregnancy (detected by ultrasound) may likely be a disease, and the doctor sends you to a different supplementary examinations. It can be e.g. polycystic ovarian syndrome (POS), excessive production of prolactin or thyroid disease.
Some girls get all periods, this condition is called primary amenorrhea. It’s mostly due to genetic defect associated with some other physical or psychological symptoms.
