Suggest Treatment For Irregular Menstrual Bleeding
Question: Hi Dr, In continuation to my last question on prolonged periods which actually lasted for 14 days, you had responded stating "Taking emergency contraceptive pill induces withdrawal bleeding which can continue for 7-10 days". My period date was 16 Mar and it lasted till 29 Mar. Now this month my period is yet to be started and I am worrying. Do you suggest to go for some pills to have the periods? My periods are always irregular and sometimes delays by a month also and I had to took some medicine. In past i took pulsatilla 1000 to start the period and this works also. Now what should i do, its been 10 days now I dont have periods.
