Brief Answer: Can be prolonged as you are bleeding after 9 month Detailed Answer: Hello ma'am and welcome. Thank you for writing to us. Ma'am the main aspect of your query is missing. Let me shed some light on that; as you were diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), did your doctor not prescribe any medication for you? If yes, this medication should target regularization/normalization of your menstrual cycle and thus help your body to have a period every month. As for the period/bleeding that you are experiencing, do not worry about it, as your endometrium (inner lining of the uterus) has not shed for almost 9 months, and it may result in a slightly more prolonged duration of bleeding. I hope you find my response helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you. Best wishes.

Brief Answer: Need change in medication;navel possible infection Detailed Answer: Hello once again ma'am. If metformin (which is prescribed to help control and regularize your menstrual cycle as well as to help with weight loss) has not been helping you much, I would request you to revisit your doctor and request for a change in prescription, as we will have to target regularization of your menstrual cycle at the earliest. A missed period for almost 9 months is unacceptable ma'am. As for the discharge from the navel, this could be due to a minor infection in the region, which is common, and will have to be examined and treated with antibiotics. The nausea and backache are related to the bleeding that you are experiencing ma'am. Please do not hesitate to visit your doctor and request for the investigations I have suggested. Also request for a check on your hemoglobin levels at the same time, to look for possible anemia resulted from the irregular bleeding. I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you. Best wishes.
