Suggest Treatment For Irregular And Delayed Periods



Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Irregular and delayed periods are due to hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia, polycystic ovarian disease, Cushings disease or due to stress.
Since your ultrasound is suggestive of polycystic ovarian disease, the cause of delayed or irregular periods is likely to be this syndrome.
The mainstay of treatment is weight loss, lifestyle changes and hormonal treatment.
Since you have taken Primulet N till 3 rd August, you can wait till 17 th August for the withdrawal periods to occur.
You should also get your thyroid hormone levels and prolactin levels done.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Weight loss is the key
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, thanks for responding. PCOS is a disorder of insulin resistance in the body , and leads to irregular or no ovulation, irregular periods, obesity, and over the long term, diabetes.
The best way to improve the insulin receptivity is weight loss and lifestyle modification like active lifestyle,avoiding oily food and not taking stress. Even 5% decrease in weight improves the hormonal profile and there is much improvement in regularity of ovulation and periods.
There is no natural way to induce periods.
I suggest you to try the abovementioned management for 3-6 months, if still not treated, then you can be given Krimson 35 (or other similar drugs) to regularize the periods.
