Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) At first, she needs to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG (most reliable) to rule out LATE CONCEPTION as she has missed period for two & half months.
2) Delayed period may be due to hormonal imbalance, Poly Cystic Ovary, mental stress, emotional upset, irregular diet habit, high prolactin level, over weight or extreme loss, pelvic infection, thyroid disturbance etc.
In that case, one pelvic ultrasound scan and complete hormone test (like LH/ FSH, Estrogen, serum Prolactin, Thyroid, DHEAS etc) will be worthwhile to rule out the underlying cause and confirm the diagnosis. You must consult with her local GYNECOLOGIST following blood test.
3) Proper treatment depends on diagnosis of the case. Here, she may require combined hormonal pill & other drug therapy to induce and regularize her period. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from her doctor.
4) In addition, she would take healthy diet (LOW CARBOHYDRATE) with more green vegetables, drink more water, keep bowel habit regular, avoid mental stress by meditation or yoga, control body weight by regular physical exercise and maintain genital hygiene properly.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish her good health and take care yourself.

Dr Soumen
