Hi,
Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your case history, I'm of the following opinion:
1. As you mentioned you are sexually inactive [presently], with irregular/delayed periods, so consult a Gynecologist or for a
second opinion, since it can be upsetting and confusing when your period is late and there are no positive signs of
pregnancy, so it could be due to certain lifestyle changes like:
- excessive
stress
- loosing or putting too much of weight
- heavy exercises
- suffering from PCOD [polycystic ovarian disease] or having a high level of
prolactin [hormone]
2. other common causes which can delay regular period:
- stress which disrupts the ovulation: causes your body to secrete more
cortisol which delays or stops ovulation altogether causing irregular periods
- Also, a diet low in fiber and high in saturated fats can cause irregular periods, likewise low
thyroid [hypothyroidism] can also cause the same, so check with your Doctor.
3. Another commonest cause is functional ovarian cysts which will prevent bleeding so get an abdominal USG done to exclude the same.
PS. It is best to seek suggestion to know why you have missed your periods, a Gynecologist would be ideal to consult, for appropriate examination/investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
