What could cause a delayed period in a patient with a history of hospitalization for acute pancreatitis?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. Sometimes periods might get delayed by one or two weeks because of some stress or recent illness. But still, you should rule out PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and thyroid abnormalities by doing a USG (ultrasound)pelvis scan, thyroid profile, and CBC (complete blood count). I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.

Hello,

Glad to have you back!

Usually, this does happen after hospitalization, you may get such irregularities up to six months. You must have done a USG scan also when you were diagnosed with pancreatitis, so there would be a mention of polycystic ovarian syndrome if it was present. For now, continue your medications, start regular exercise (not vigorous), do daily yoga asana or pranayama, have more green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet, and have plenty of water at least one gallon per day. I would like to know, is that discharge smelly? In such cases of infection, the discharge could occur, and to avoid such infections, keep that area clean and dry, change undergarments two times a day, and wash your genital with soft intimate cleansers. When did you have a pregnancy test? Kindly answer to help you further.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you wait for a week more. Even then if your period do not come then again and get a urine pregnancy test done, if the test comes negative then take the tablet Deviry (Medroxyprogesterone)10 mg twice daily for three days, after stopping this tablet period will come within two to seven days. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
