General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern.
You had regular periods since tubectomy for all these years that suggests the operation to be a success. This type of sporadic delay in periods can be due to temporary causes bringing about hormonal imbalance. They are .. post illness/ weakness & anemia/ physical or psychological stress.
If the Problem continues for a longer time .. the probable causes are ovarian/ thyroid problems. They can be treated well after diagnosis & gynecologist's advise.
Very very rare cause can be recanalization & pregnancy ( extreamly rare after so many years of operation )
Thanks.
