Hello,

Thanks for giving additional information regarding your condition.

Absence of period is termed amenorrhea. Long period of amenorrhea is commonly associated with PCOS or ovarian cyst, hypothyroidism state, over weight, chronic / long term use of psychiatric medication, irregular diet habit or anorexia, uterine pathology or pelvic infection, high prolactin level, etc. It would be extremely difficult for any gynecologist to identify the exact cause without investigations.

Beta hCG levels are routinely checked to learn about pregnancy status. It is evident that your doctor wanted to check for pregnancy and have ruled that out.

I feel you need to undergo a battery of tests under the guidance of your gynecologist to identify the possible causes. You would need a complete health check up and relevant investigations like pelvic ultrasound scan, thyroid profile, LH/ FSH ratio, blood sugar (PPBS) test, prolactin & blood testosterone level to pin point the diagnosis.

Proper treatment depends on underlying etiology. You may require hormonal medication along with other supportive treatment to bring your period back.

In the interim, do the following things:
1) Take healthy low carbohydrate diet with more vegetables.
2) Make sure your bowel habit is regular and maintain personal hygiene properly.
3) Do regular physical exercise to control body weight and it has key role.
4) Try to avoid stress by yoga or meditation or deep breathing exercise regularly.
5) Take iron & vitamin supplements & avoid all junk/ fast/ spicy food stuff.
6) Drink plenty of water/ fluid and always take sound sleep.

Hope, I have answered your query. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Wish your good health & take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

I am sorry If I have conveyed myself wrong.

According to your blood test report, beta HCG value 1.2 indicates non-pregnant state. It is more reliable test to rule out pregnancy. You can undergo one pelvic ultrasound scan (100% confirmatory) to clear your suspicion about pregnancy.

As you have mentioned previously that you are over weight little bit, you need to maintain a healthy life style and weight reduction is essential to bring back your period. Please consult with your gynecologist to proceed above mentioned investigations for proper management of this case.


Be well & stay healthy in future.

Regards,
