Brief Answer: report Detailed Answer: There should be an an option as attach reports. You have to upload the file after scanning it, then send as attachment. Have you had an ultrasoubd dine? I think you need may have pcos, in the early stages. For that you need to be on oc pills long term. Do you have any weight gain, excessive body or facial XXXXXXX acne? Pl attatch the full report is possible along with usg report.

Brief Answer: reports not attactched Detailed Answer: The reports could not be accessed. Probabaly a problem with the upload. From your history, its probable you may be have polycystic ovaries. This is a complex metabolic disorder mostly due to hormonal dysfunction. It may cause irregular cycles, infertility, hirsuitism, weight gain, diabetes etc. The usual treatment is oral contraceptive pills to regularise your cycle. If you had your period yesterday, i would advise tab Krimson 35 1 tab daily at bedtime, from day 1-2 of your period. Its to be taken for 21 days, then gap of 1 week, repeat new pack. You need to make sure you dont miss any pills. This needs to be continued at least 6 months and longer if necessary. Along with that tab Gonadil 1 tab twice daily for 1 month, then once daily for 3 months. Exercise and diet control is important. Later, for pregnancy, you may need some medication.
