Is Irregular Menstruation A Sign Of Ovarian Cancer?

Posted on Wed, 28 Dec 2016

Question: Hi,
My name is XXXX. I got married 2 years ago. I use to have irregular periods and for that a gynic suggested me to take Krimson-35 as a course for 3-4 months to regulate my periods. I had them till last month and last month that is November I got period on 14th and the bleeding lasted for 6 days, then I should expect my period around 14th of December, but I have seen just 2-3 drops of bleeding on 5th of this month. do that refer to periods. Apart from that I didn't have any discharge further. Does it refer to some serious health problem. This is the first time it had happened to me. My normal period cycle is 30 days. Please suggest me. Do it refers to some cancer or any infection.

Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern .
Irregular periods do not indicate cancer.
Mostly it is due to hormonal imbalance.
Please get pelvic ultrasound scan done and hormonal tests on day two of your period.
That will clarify the picture.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care

It is not about irregular periods, I have seen 2-3 drops of bleeding in between my menstrual cycle, this is the first time it happened. I am worried about that
