Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Irregular periods can happen due to several causes like hormonal imbalance and stress.
It appears that you could be having issues related to stress after marriage and may be you are apprehensive about becoming pregnant.
If your periods are delayed, kindly take urine pregnancy test.
If it is negative, you may have to be evaluated for polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), which could be the cause for hormonal imbalance and irregular periods.
Do not worry as irregular periods or PCOD can be treated by medication.
Kindly practice meditation regularly which will help you to keep your mind calm and stress free.
Folic acid supplementation is known to improve ovarian and endometrial functions. Hence its intake will be beneficial while planning for pregnancy.
Kindly consult Gynecologist in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
