Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • From what you have told I can see that you are suffering from irregular periods without menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea.
  • Though I suspect your condition could be because of PCOD, there are many causes for such problems
  • Irregular periods may cause infertility also.

So, you should consult a gynaecologist online immediately for proper investigation to rule out the cause and get treated accordingly .
