Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information.

Your addiction to eating raw rice could probably be due to undetected anemia. Anemia can cause irregular periods.

I would also like to know if you experienced a delayed period earlier and if you are sexually active regularly without any protection.

In the current scenario, please go for a pregnancy test and plan further management.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

In the current scenario, please get the pregnancy test done to clarify. Further management can be planned accordingly.

You can get a HPT using a fresh early morning sample of urine or go for the estimation of serum beta-hCG titres.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

regards,
Shanti V.
