Suggest Treatment For Delayed Periods
Question: My daughter is 22 years and been on the pill for about 4 years. Almost 2 months ago she didn't get a period. She had a blood test for pregnancy done and it was negative. She went off the pill but the period has still not come and it is nearly around to the second month. She had another blood test which was negative so she is going to take the pill again. Should she get this investigated or wait and see if the period comes after this cycle of the pill. She has recently moved from Cairns where she was a scuba diver and now lives in Sydney and doing office work.
Brief Answer:
Don't worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
While she was on pill and she have excluded pregnancy ,don't worry .
SHE SHOULD WAIT AT LEAST FOR ONE MONTH TO BEGIN WITH INVESTIGATION OF MISSED PERIODS FOR TWO MONTHS ,BECAUSE SHE must miss at least three to six menstrual periods without pregnancy to be diagnosed with secondary amenorrhea.
IN MY OPINION MISSED PERIODS MAY BE FROM CHANGING SCHEDULES ON WORKING.
