Hello dear Understand your concern First you have to find the cause of irregular menstrual period by consult the gynecologist. I think following causes in irregular menstrual period: Ovarian cyst/polycystic ovarian syndrome. Hormonal imbalance Thyroid dysfunction. I advice you to go for following investigations: Reproductive hormone analysis and thyroid hormone analysis. USG scan and ovarian follicle study. Generally period can be regularize by prescribing following medicine: Oral contraceptive pill for 4-6 months and progesterone only pill can be given second half of the cycle. Take multivitamin tablet, continue exercise & yoga, fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink plenty of waters daily (2-3 liters) So consult the gynecologist and go for investigations and take proper treatment. Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
