Very Light Period And Cramping. Extremely Fatigued And On Emotional Roll Coaster. Had Periods With Medication. What Could It Be?
CAUSES OF IRREGULAR PERIOD NEED TO INVESTIGATE.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
First of all, you must exclude possible conception by undergoing one blood test for beta-hCG if you don't get your period within few days. Early home pregnancy test is less significant.
Other reasons of irregular late period are Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), mental stress, hormonal imbalance, pelvic or vaginal infection, over weight, high prolactin level, certain medication, improper diet etc.
Here, you need to undergo some additional investigations after exclusion of the pregnancy. These include pelvic ultrasound scan, thyroid profile, progesterone level, prolactin & blood sugar test etc. These will help to pinpoint the diagnosis.
In this circumstance, I suggest to consult with your gynecologist for clinical examination and proper guidance of above mentioned investigations.
Complete treatment depends on the diagnosis of the case. You may require hormonal medication and other supportive therapy according to test reports. They are quite necessary to induce and regularize period.
Hope, above information is quite helpful to you. Let me know if you need any clarification.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
Regards,
Dr Soumen
