I have not started my period for almost 4 months now. Lately, I have been gaining more weight (I eat and exercise good). I have also been having really really bad lower back pains. I have had to stop what I have been doing and they have bee nso bad that I have actually been knocked to the ground and have had my mom help me into the house. I will be sitting down not moving or anything and I have had really bad back pains. I have also been getting dizzy and nausous lately. It sometimes feels like the room is spinning, it doesn't happen that often maybe two or three times a week.
My question is this a sign of cancer or is this normal?
Go to the doctor you may have more frequent menses and endometriosis, fibroids… a huge list of things. Go see your OBGYN.
You do not mention how old you are.
Pregnancy and menopause are two conditions that need to be considered if the criteria indicates that.
Any condition in the pelvis can cause lower back pain. also kidney problems.
Have a gynae check-up it is good practice even if everything is normal.
