Hi I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. You can take some medicines like meprate or deviry for inducing periods. Anemia can be a reason of not getting periods. Hope it helps.
