Hello Good Evening,

As you have issue of irregular menstruation, which is due to some common reason like:

-Pregnancy
-Menopause
-Stress and anxiety
-Excessive weight loss, or weight gain
-Hormonal imbalance
-Hypothyroidism
-PCOS

You should have mentioned about your medications, but you are looking suffered from hormonal imbalance or PCOS.

PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) produces symptoms in approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age (12–45 years old). It is thought to be one of the leading causes of female sub-fertility and the most frequent endocrine problem in women of reproductive age.

The principal features are anovulation, resulting in irregular menstruation, amenorrhoea, ovulation-related infertility, and polycystic ovaries; excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones, resulting in acne and hirsutism; and insulin resistance, often associated with obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol levels.

Side effects from the treatment of PCOS may include:
-Irregular menstrual periods, with higher doses of the medicine.
-Rash.
-Scalp hair loss.
-Nausea or fatigue, with higher doses of the medicine.
-Cramping, diarrhea.
-Drowsiness, lack of energy.
-Headache, confusion.

Regards,

Dr. Naresh Jain.
