Am A 20 Year Old Female And Have Had Regular
Question: am a 20 year old female and have had regular periods for as long as i can remember. starting this year i have gained weight in my stomach area and have been missing periods for sometimes two months at a time. i feel weak daily and i have cramps everyday it seems like with no period. is this normal?
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Weight gain, irregular cycles and cramps during periods all point at a hormonal imbalance. Such hormonal imbalances can occur due to many causes. Even mental stress can lead to such hormonal imabalnces and cycle disturbances.
I suggest you to get an Ultrasound scan to rule out any structural anomalies which can lead to such problems. One such possibility is a polycystic ovarian disease.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
regards,
Ultrasound scan
