Will Eating Earthen Pots And Raw Rice Cause Trouble Getting Pregnant?

Hi, I am not facing any health issue, but I am afraid of my future because from childhood on wards I use to eat earthen pots and if I do not get it then I use to eat raw rice. I have eaten a lot of earthen pots and raw rice till now. I have tried to leave it but I was unsuccessful. Now, I want to leave all these thing, how can I leave this. I am 29 now, unmarried, so, I want to know will they create any problem in pregnancy or any other sexual problem. My monthly periods are getting delay now, sometimes 15 days. Is this due to my bad habits of eating unwanted things.

Hello
Thanks for your health query.
You need to consult a doctor right away.
Craving for such unnatural things indicates a deficiency of key minerals like iron, calcium etc.
Please have relevant laboratory testing for such deficiencies.
Also, such behaviour generally does not result in menstrual irregularities.
You should consult a gynecologist too for evaluation of menstrual delays.
Stress, anxiety, weight gain, changes in diet or sleep - can cause menstrual delay.
Hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian disease should be ruled out by testing.
Supplements should be taken for iron deficiency.
All the best.
