General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
I appreciate your concern
Menstrual irregularities are very less likely related to PCNL or lithotripsy.

It might be related to hormonal imbalances or gynaecological condition like perimenopausal stage, endometriosis, stress and anxiety and many other rare causes

Looking at your description I would advise you for battery of tests like hormonal study and ultrasound pelvis for further evaluation.

If it persists any longer than I would advise you to consult a gynaecologist for physical examination and further course of action.

Hope I could answer your question
thanks for posting to us, please feel free to ask for further assistance.
