Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Periods are affected by simple, basic factors - sleep, weight, exercise, climate, travelling, smoking, drinking, drugs, hormones, medications, stress, anxiety.
So it could be a simple upcoming exam or test, or a spate of late nights, binge drinking or erratic eating, or a bout of unaccustomed exercise, or weight gain or loss - all these can cause your cycle to become irregular.
Of course, there are other medical conditions too.
The commonest reason is PCOD - polycystic ovarian disease, when you have multiple small cysts on your ovaries.
Fibroids, cysts, endometrial hyperplasia - these are some of the other reasons.
There is a long list of other, rarer, causes too.
YOu need to see a Specialist OB - GYN, and have an internal evaluation, Pap smear, pelvic ultrasound scan and hormonal levels ( FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, DHEAS, Free testosterone, Lipid profile).
Right now, you can take Primolut N for 5 days.
After stopping, you will get your period within a week, if it is delayed due to simple hormone disturbance.
Else please get the workup done if your periods become irregular all the time.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
What is your height and weight ?
