Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Delayed Periods Along With Heart Burn And Constipation?
Hello, I am a 21 year old female and I have had an IUD since April 2013. I recently noticed that I have been having heart burn, constipated, diarrhea, a little more emotionally sensitive then usual, belching uncontrollably, and my breasts are a bit tender when I push on them. I believe it's been a month since I have last had my period, but I'm not exactly sure. I need advice on what I should do.
As a physician, I would like to tell you that it is possible sometimes to get pregnant even when you are using Copper-T. Thus I would suggest you take a home urine pregnancy test 10 to 15 days apart and then visit a consulting Obgy doctor if the periods are still delayed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Abhijeet
