Q. Is it normal to have periods that only last a day and a half?
Hi doctor,
I am concerned about my irregular periods. Last, I got them on the 7th of last passing month and then I got them in between for a day and later for half a day this month. What can I do?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. It seems you have signs and symptoms of polycystic ovaries. I recommend you consult your gynecologist doctor and then tablet of Norethisterone 10 mg from day 4 to day 26 of your menstrual cycle and then wait for the withdrawal bleeding. And again start on day 4 of your menstrual period and repeat for three cycles. I also suggest you go for
- Transvaginal scan.
- Serum sex hormone tests include progesterone, insulin, testosterone, prolactin, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), and thyroid function test.
- Have a healthy diet.
- Go for a daily walk and other recreational activities to have a normal BMI (body mass index) and weight.
Thank you.
