What Causes Irregular Periods?
Question: Hi Doctor, My age is 28 yrs and i got married 6 months back. I have irregular menstrual problems since my teen age. During my college years, a doc prescribed me some progestrones medicines for 1-2 weeks (as far as i remember) to regularize my periods, after which i lost so much of weight and came to about 52 kgs for which i was very happy. Now from that time i have gained a lot of weight even after my wedding and still facing a lot of problem in getting periods with a gap of about 35-45 days on an average. what should i do for this?? My friend has suggested to take Tab. Femilon for this problem as she has also experienced all this and this tab. was very much effective and safe.
I have never taken any medicines other than those hormonal medicines prescribed by my Gyane doc.
Also, during sex me and my husband dont use any precaution and still i have not conceived yet .. do you think there is some major problem???
Please advise.

Weight Loss
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare Magic.
I have gone through your query and Would like to reply in detail as follows:
1. Your overweight seems to be the problem which is not letting you get normal periods and making it delayed.
2. Weight loss by regular diet and excercise will help you regularise cycle and get pregnant.
3. Femilon is an oral contraceptive pill which will regularise cycles as long as you are on it but unfortunately does not help in getting pregnant as it is an oral contraceptive pill taken to delay pregnany.
4. You might be having polycystic ovaries which can be confirmed by ultrasound scan.
5. Get yuor husband's semen analysis done meanwhile.
6. This is not a major problem and dont worry about it.
I hope your doubt is clarified. Let me know if you wish any other information.
Regards,
Dr. Soumya

Brief Answer:
Weight loss is important/
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Because of obesity or polycystic ovary the cycles generally get delayed. Hence conception gets delayed. So better keep trying.
2. 28 is high age and conception becomes difficult after 30. No need of any test for you. Get husband's semen analysis done.
3. Polycystic ovaries cannot be cured. Weight loss will help to control it.
4. There are no complications with it other than delay in conception.
