What could be the cause of delayed periods?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have been experiencing delayed periods. In the past, I used a tablet to postpone my periods by a day due to some functions. I took the tablet one day before the expected period date, then had intercourse and took a contraceptive pill (I pill) five days after the expected period date. However, I still have not had my period. I am experiencing white discharge now.

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq, and thank you for choosing us as your provider for health care.

I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

The periods have not come due to two reasons. First, the contraceptive pill has stopped and delayed further the already existing hormonal imbalance. Second, the pill that you have taken is under dosage, and thus, it has contributed to the delay. Now, both dosages have created a hormone imbalance. You should wait until the expected period date this month for your periods to come. If not, first get a urine pregnancy test done if your period is delayed by two to three days from the expected period date.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The excess white discharge may be due to low immunity or trichomonal vaginitis. I would suggest you take the following medicines:

Tablet Forcan (Fluconazole) 150 mg once a day for three days.
Ointment Surfaz-SN (a combination of Beclomethasone, Clotrimazole, and Neomycin) over the vulva at bedtime.

You cannot get pregnant outside the fertile period, which may vary according to the menstrual cycle.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
