General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would like to suggest some tests:
1. Test for Beta HCG
2. Lower Abdomen USG

First, get sure whether you are pregnant or not. Then if you are pregnant, we have to control that. If you are not, then, we go for treatment either we treat any lower abdominal problem if found in USG or we go for drug treatment for irregular periods.

If you cannot go for test now, at least, do the Home Based Pregnancy kit. Although, as you asked, I must say the treatment of Irregular periods:
Norethisterone 5 mg, thrice daily for 3 months
While taking this medicine, there will be no period.

Then you stop the drug and there will be withdrawal bleeding Day 1 starts. You can see the period is timely occurring. If not, again that medicine for 6 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
