Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 18-year-old female with a 64 kg weight. During my first period I had heavy bleeding which lasted for seven days. I did not get my periods for one and half years after my puberty, then got light periods before six years ago, and the bleeding lasted for four days. Now I have no period. And also, I am having low vitamin D levels and gained around 10kg after my first period.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Since you are going through teenage but, some hormonal imbalance is there during the start of the menstrual cycle at the menstrual cycle. During the early cycles, most girls have anovulatory and irregular cycles. But gradually, the cycles become regular and ovulatory as the reproductive system develops. However, you have a history of weight gain and vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, I suggest you follow a few instructions mentioned below.

  1. Have a balanced nutritious diet with less salt, sugar, oil, and spice with lots of vegetables and fruits, and also consume plenty of water.
  2. Daily exercise, walking, and yoga may help to reduce weight.
  3. Have recreational activities for better emotional and physical well being.
  4. Have a transvaginal scan immediately if you are sexually active, but if you are not sexually active, then have an abdominal pelvic scan with a full bladder.
  5. You need full investigations with menstrual induction, as you described in your query.
  6. Have tablet Primolute N 10 mg twice daily for seven days, then wait for menstrual bleeding for one to two weeks.
  7. On the day the second day of bleeding, have all blood investigations. ( serum testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, serum insulin, thyroid function test, complete blood Count).
  8. Collect all laboratory results and discuss them with a local gynecologist or here.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
