Brief Answer:
Further management is largely based on test results.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam,
Thank you for your detailed response.
It's very important for you to understand that Ayurvedic or Homeopathic remedies are not effective in your case. Hence, it's not advisable not to rely on them as it gives you a false sense of well being delaying the medical attention.
This looks like a significant underlying hormonal disorder causing these abnormalities in menstrual cycle. It has to be corrected at the earliest. Treatment may extend for longer periods.
Further management is largely based on test results. I will guide you accordingly once the test results are out. I recommend you discuss about it with your gynecologist and get the tests done.
Review with reports to determine further course of action.
Take care.
