I am 53 years old and I am going through the menopause. I haven't had my period for 12 months and then I just got it again. Is this normal?

This is very common and many women find the can go for up to a year or so without a period, then get one.

It is often caused by thingsk, such as a 'last fling' by your hormones, stress, illness, strenuous exercise, dieting, or a change of diet - especially if you improved it!

However, it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well.
