Hi! thanks for sharing your problem with us!

Delay in periods is generally caused due to pregnancy; therefore you must get a urine pregnancy test and if this is negative again, we have to think of following possibilities like:

1. polycystic ovaries

2.functional ovarian cysts

3. endometrial polyps

4. endometrial inactivity/exogenous hormones

5. infections like tuberculosis

6. hormonal problems like thyroid, insulin, prolactin etc.

In this case, your gynecologist might advise to do ultrasound of the lower
abdomen for confirmation and determination of the line of treatment!

regards!
