What Causes Irregular Menstruation Along With Spotting?

I haven t got a regular cycle for more than an year.But last March it appeared again and it was more of a spotting .I had that sort of period in the following three months.And it stopped again.My doctor said that I had no ovulation any longer and recommended Angelique . I noted some changes like higher blood preasure and increased cholesterol levels after taking the first 3 packs so I stopped and replaced the therapy with fitoestrogens.I feel better now except the pain in the lower part of the abdomen (on the right) and bloating.The abdominal CT is OK.I m 48 and I smoke.Can that be the reason for the constant pain?

Hi,

The delayed period could be due to hormonal imbalance because of changing of birth control pill.

I would suggest waiting for a period. If period will delay by more than 14 days from expected period date, consult the gynecologist for detailed examination.

For investigations of irregular menstruations. You may be asked for hormonal work up like FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone, Prolactin, etc.

Before hormonal checkup, you will be examined internally to find any organic disease like infection or cyst-Ultrasonography also will reveal a good amount of information regarding your internal organs (and even pregnancy also).

Avoid stress, take a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
