Hi Claudia,
Read your query & understand your concern.
* delay n periods once n a while can be due to -
-Simple causes like
pregnancy ( in fertile age), recent illness,weakness ( less HB%), pre menopause( in middle age), Physical or psychological
stress.
- When above causes are not present..
Hormonal imbalance ( ovarian,
thyroid, pituitary hormones),
PCOD,
fibroid uterus are various causes.
* your present complaint of abdominal discomfort with increased bowel movements can be due to-Digestive problems or bowel infections.
* You should
-consult your doctor for evaluation of symptoms to find cause of your bowel problems & take specific medication.
Take lght nutritous diet, avoid spicy food, drink plenty of water with salt & sugar ( ORS).
- Get pregnancy test (UPT)done to exclude pregnancy. In absence of pregnancy menses can be stimulated by medicines ( OC).. taken in high dose for a short time. You should consult your doctor to choose & prescribe for you.
- In case the problem repeates( and you are less than 40 yrs , Investigations for hormonal imbalance/ USG to find about other causes become needful.
Thanks.
