Hello doctor,
I am a 27-year-old, female and my periods are delayed by six days. I also took a pregnancy test through a home UPT kit but it was negative. My stomach is bloated. I have gained 10 kg more within three months.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns. Menstrual irregularities in your case could be due to hormonal imbalance caused by PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS is an endocrinal disorder in which hormonal imbalance will be there due to cysts in the ovary, facial hair growth, and weight gain may be there. As it is a lifestyle disease, you have to change your lifestyle, eat a high-protein diet with lots of vegetables and fruits, and exercise regularly. Get your hemoglobin, HbA1c, and TSH level. No need to worry about it and take progesterone for withdrawal bleeding. I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
