    Health check up reports.
    Hello,

    Its about my friend, she is not having her period since a long time may be more than two years. She went to doctor also they checked everything and said she is doing fine, there is no problem. But she asked them about whether she is sexually active or not. She explained that after the divorce she has never been sexually active. They advised her its natural thing, so be sexual active, her period will start naturally, Is it true? Does it happen like this?

    No Precious that is not true. She needs to see another doctor for proper diagnosis.

    No, Precious, that is not true. Having sex will not make her period return. There are variables you have not mentioned, such as her age. Is she old enough to be going into menopause? Did they take a blood test to test her hormone levels?

    Yes, that sounds weird to me too. She is 29-33 yrs. She said they did "all" the test.

    Women who are not around adult males can stop having their periods. This happened to a nurse friend of mine, for at least a year, and then we moved into a big house with male and female roommates. Her doctor told her to share a toilet with the male roommates, and she got her period almost right away. She is also very thin, and thin women get amenorrhea more easily, as well as very athletic women.

    We really do 'smell' each other, the way other animals do, even if we don't notice it. It really is a scent thing.

    Oh really Joy. We are in the higher order Joy. So, no I don't think so. You are putting us on the same level as wolves and coyotes.

    It could have been power of positive suggestion, but it really did happen - I was there.

    As for scent, of course we have scent! You were just here the other day agreeing that dogs have been known to paw and whine at a person's body when they unknowingly had cancer. Pheromones are real too. People fall in love with someone's smell, their sweat. Mothers can smell their babies.

    . With all due respect, that's the silliest thing I've ever heard.

    I found a scientific paper from India regarding smelling urine - men of women's, women of men's, blind smelling to identify men's vs women's, time of ovulation in women's... no mention of restarting secondary amenorrhea, but I believe it's very possible.
    Other animals can identify a plethora of information from each other's urine. We had it and lost it. Or did we?

    Of course I know and yes, it is pheromones but that is sexual attraction. You are talking about something entirely different!

    Who says pheromones are just sexual attraction? And what constitutes sexual attraction anyway? You think there's an expressway from your nose to your genitals?

    In the dog world we call that pee mail. Wolf urine is sold as a deterrent to ward off coyotes. And for a very good reason !

    I do ! But I am not attracted to every male I meet. Only certain ones sexually, not that I act on it every time. The male doesn't have to be the most attractive I have ever met but the one 'something' that attracts me is probably pheromones.

    I don't think it is a scent thing though, it goes deeper then that.

    You really have to get out more, Joy !

    We humans are indeed animals. Like I said, we lost our good noses. You are helping to prove my argument.
    As for pheromones, I say they are more complicated than you think!

    No I don't have to get out more! My periods stopped 18 years ago for reasons nature intended. My pheromones, give me a break. I'd bet the farm that they petered out at the same time.

    You think pheromones are more complicated then 'just scent' . That is what I am saying. My period stopped years ago too, Joy. Nothing else did. After that good clean sex was not a worry. I was liberated and so were my pheromones !

    Aha, you practically walked right in the door. Pheromones ARE more than a sexually specific scent (my words). So I do believe that the doctors who advised both the OP and my friend were right.
    Although I disagree that it requires sex to restart a period, but maybe that's not really what the doctor said to the Op's friend, 2nd hand at least.

    I would be seriously worried about a doctor who said it was normal and you would have a period if you had sex again.

    I have to ask, what country this is? I will assume it is not a major area like US, Canada but perhaps one where they practice more local customs with their medical treatment?
