Why Does My Daughter Get Periods Only With Medication ?
Sir, My daughter is 22 years old and weighs 68 kgs and 5ft.4inches tall. She has not been getting her menses regularly ever since she has attained her puberty. And she gets her menses only with the help of Regestrone 5 mg(2 pills a day for 3 days).This medication is as per the advise of a doctor and after consulting quite a few doctors. No medicine, no menses for months together and even if she gets also with medication, very negligible bleeding that too after 7,8 days of medication. she keeps on gaining weight if she is not getting monthly cycle . she is over weight now. Before the due date she loses appetite, gets fever and body pains. Please advice

This is probably due to hormone disturbance. The weight gain can be due to Regestrone. The Regestrone causes absent menstruation for few months and when the Doctor stops giving the medicine she will get back her periods. She needs to get ultrasound abdomen to see if there are Polycystic ovaries. This can also cause these symptoms. Excess weight gain will also cause menstrual problems. She needs to stop eating junk food, and eat more fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Get her blood sugar tested for diabetes as well.
