Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 29 years old female. I have two babies through C-section. I have hyperpigmentation on my face with the irregular menstrual system.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hyperpigmentation with irregular cycles mostly follows hyperandrogenism. It may occur due to PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) and CAH (congenital adrenal hyperplasia). Do you have excess hair growth on the face? And the hair is being coarse, with dark hair? Hyperpigmentation is due to severe hormone imbalance which is mainly triggered by the androgens in your body. So an analysis of the hormones and correction of the same will help to regain regular cycles and reduce pigmentation.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
