Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I'm 46 y/o and my periods are usually regular, coming every month but the last six months my periods have been late, approximately 5-6 weeks, then regular for maybe two months then late again. I had a tubal ligation in 2004 so I don't think I'm pregnant. Why is this starting to happen?
Hi I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. You may need some hormonal treatment. Hope it helps.
