She should be discussing with a mature fiancé, not just any boyfriend!
As a gynaecologist, I would say this with a lot of compassion.
No, it is not considered normal to reach 28 years of age without ever having had a menstrual period. However, it is also important not to jump to conclusions or assume the worst.
There are several medical conditions that can cause a woman to never have periods, and some of them are present from birth.
For example, some women are born with an absent or underdeveloped womb, a condition known as MRKH syndrome. They may look completely female on the outside, go through puberty normally, develop breasts, and live healthy lives, yet never menstruate because there is little or no uterus to shed a lining each month.
Another possibility is Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS), where a person is genetically male (XY chromosomes) but their body develops along female lines. They often appear female externally and may not discover the condition until they seek medical advice for absent periods.
Some women have an imperforate hymen or other congenital abnormalities where menstrual blood cannot leave the body normally. Others may be born with an absent vagina, a shortened vagina, or reproductive organs that did not form in the usual way during fetal development.
There are also hormonal, genetic, and endocrine causes that can prevent menstruation.
What concerns me most in this story is not that she has never bought a pad. It is that she may have spent 28 years without receiving a proper medical evaluation. If she has never been assessed by a gynaecologist, she should consider doing so. Not because she should be judged or pitied, but because she deserves answers about her own body.
And regarding her boyfriend, many women carrying a diagnosis like this struggle with fear, shame, anxiety, or uncertainty about how to explain it to others. That conversation can be incredibly difficult.
Sometimes what looks like secrecy is actually someone trying to come to terms with a deeply personal medical condition.
The most helpful response is curiosity, kindness, and encouraging her to seek specialist care if she hasn't already. Every woman's story is different, and there may be much more behind this than people realise.
The moment you wake up and realize your pillow is drenched with saliva, don’t wave it off too quickly.
I know drooling while asleep is a common thing that can happen due to minor reasons like your sleeping position.
But the thing is that, there are other serious causes of drooling in your sleep.

I called a new mum to congratulate her on the arrival of her baby. I asked how the baby was, she said the baby is so quiet and has been sleeping. He slept for 8 hours and they were glad he was such a gentle child.
I screamed!
That child was obviously hypoglycaemic.
