Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

As your periods have delayed for more than 3 months which is not the case usually. Some health conditions such as anemia, thyroid, overweight, diet and lifestyle changes, stress etc. can cause delay in periods.

I would suggest you to get some blood tests done to rule out other conditions such as complete blood count and thyroid profile. After the blood tests you can start with hormonal medicines to help regularise your cycles.

Meanwhile you can take multivitamin such as Cap. Becadexamin once a day for 30 days.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.
Regards.
