For delayed period detail work up done If pregnancy negative. USG abdomen and pelvic scan helpful in identifying ovarian problem if present. Excess stress, prolonged fasting, obesity etc also can be cause. Rule out thyroid problem by serum TSH estimation. Rule out diabetes by random blood sugar estimation.
