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.
My period started on October 29th and then went about a week as normal and started to end, but then a day later it continued and has started to get heavier again now almost 2 weeks later? My periods have always been normal, lasting about a week. What would cause this?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Based on your description, it appears that your periods are irregular due to hormonal imbalance in the body. Kindly get the following investigations done. 1. Blood levels of FSH, LH and Prolactin. 2. Ultrasound scan of the abdomen. Kindly consult Gynecologist with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
