Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 25 years old, female, married 8 months back. Sexually active and using condom. I have hypothyroidism and I am taking Thyronorm 75 mcg and one Levocetirizine in daily basis. My last period was three months back. Then I got my period two months later and it was late and the flow was also very little even I was not using a pad also. Then I consult a doctor. She told me to get an ultrasound test of pelvis. The report is normal. She adviced me to take Regestrone for three days. I started it from that day. Then I got my period yesterday night with little flow again and having pain in stomach and back badly. She suggested me to go for hormone tests in 2nd or 3rd day of my period. I am very confused and do not undetstand what is going on. I am feeling very weak and sleepy all the time. Please give me some advice what to do.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are many causes for irregular periods and scanty flow. Some are due to structural abnormality in the uterus, for which you were asked for Ultrasound which came out normal. Other causes are certain hormonal imbalances in the sex hormones secreted by pituitary or ovaries or thyroid also which can be confirmed by doing the hormonal assay. Your doctor is going in the right direction. But if you can mention me what hormonal test has been advised I can give you more information on that. I also advise you to get TSH test also. Kindly get the tests and revert back to me.

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