Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had my period one year after my delivery. But after that, it was almost two months, but I still did not get my periods. Kindly suggest some way to regularize the periods.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I would suggest getting a pregnancy test done first. Then, once that has been ruled out, we can look for another cause for your amenorrhea, or no period.

Are you breastfeeding regularly?

Ovulation and, hence, periods can be irregular or absent when breastfeeding. Finally, if none of these natural causes is responsible for your lack of period, I suggest an ultrasound to evaluate the ovaries and endometrial thickness.

  1. Do you have a history of acne or facial and belly hair?
  2. Were your periods regular before you had your child?

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
