Hi, I am Juhi from Delhi. I am 26 year old unmarried girl. This month I had very scanty bleeding during menstrual cycle. My height is 5 feet 3 inches and weight 55 kgs. I am always tired and feel like a old women and have problem in sleeping and headaches. I am very ambitious and live a stressful life. Also, around past 6 months i have been using laptop by keeping it on my abdomen for 4-5 hours daily. Does it have any effect on my menstrual cycle? Doctor, please advice. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Using laptop as such may not have effect on menstrual cycle but better to take gap in between.
Stress and strain can alter the menstrual cycle by affecting the hormones.
You once consult gynecologist, get examined and go for hemoglobin, blood sugar and thyroid profile.
Possibly by this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treatment can be given accordingly.
Take nutritious diet and sufficient rest.

Hi

Thanks for your query.

Scanty menstruation can be caused by many conditions. Since you are feeling tired lately I will advice you to go for blood tests that include thyroid profile, anemia, Liver and kidney function tests, etc. Since scanty menstruation can also be caused by structural abnormalities in the reproductive tract, a sonography may also be advised.

Though laptop use may produce same radiations that may affect normal physiology, its correlation with menstrual disorders has not been established.

Take care
