Brief Answer:
You need evaluation to know the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for the query.
After analyzing your complaints, I feel you need to get evaluated for the same: My opinion is you need to undergo few investigations to find out the exact cause, then depending on this you need specific treatment:
Thyroid function test (t3, t4 and TSH-thyroid stimulating hormone) levels, serum prolactin level, and scan pelvis to know any problem with uterus also to know the endometrial thickness.
One more possibility is D&C (dilatation curettage- done for abortion), but I hope you have never undergone any D&C.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
