Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been experiencing a light period for the past four months. I have undergone hormone and thyroid tests, as well as a vaginal examination. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

All your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) indicate normal levels. Therefore, we need to explore other factors that may be causing your light periods, such as stress, environmental changes, or recent dietary adjustments. It is important to monitor your weight for any changes.

I hope this helps.

For further inquiries, feel free to consult me at icliniq.com.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

Is there any medication available for this issue?

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Khushbu

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I suggest you start taking oral contraceptive pills for three months if you do not have any concerns like fatty liver(excess fat in the liver), gallbladder stones (solid particles in the gallbladder causing pain), changes in lipid profiles, hypertension (high blood pressure), or venous thrombosis-related problems (blood clot in veins). Begin taking them on the second day of your period for three cycles. Consult your doctor and take the medicines. This should help regulate your menstrual cycle.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

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