Question: Hi, I am having irregular periods from last 5 months.This month it is 45 days crossed from last period, but still waiting for it.Please advice.
Brief Answer:
Can be a hormonal abnormality.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The delay in periods and cycle longer than 45 days can happen due to hormonal disturbance and polycystic ovaries. This needs proper evaluation with few blood tests, hormonal profiles and ultarsound scan to find out the exact cause.
In polycystic ovaries the hormone dis-balance is such that there is weight gain associated with delayed periods. The best way to regularize the periods in such a situation is to take oral pills.
There are some other options as intrauterine device to regularize your periods with minimal side effects. Some other adjuvant drugs like metformin are also reported to help during weight loss and to upregulate the hormone receptors.
Do consult your gynecologist and get the required investigations done for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
