Hi,
In addition to FSH and LH hormones, other hormones such as testosterone and prolactin- should be checked. If there is any excess weight, weight loss can help because it is one of the treatment recommendations for polycystic ovaries. Metformin also helps with this condition.
Other causes of delayed periods are:
(1) emotional stress or illness
(2) physical illness
(3) side effect of medication
(4) inadequate diet
(5) excess physical activity
(6) hormonal problems mentioned - prolactin, thyroid, polycystic ovarian syndrome
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
