Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am concerned about my periods as I have not got my periods for the last three months. My last period was nearly three months back in February and I also got sexually active with complete protection during that month after my periods got over. I have tested with the pregnancy kits at least 10 times but it shows negative results always. I did some blood tests and all were normal. I am taking homeopathy medicine for now. Please help me, doctor, what to do?

Thank you.

Hello,

We welcome you to icliniq family.

I appreciate the confidence you place in me for your healthcare consultation.

I have gone through the reports you have provided (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), and the ultrasound report is showing you have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). PCOS is very common these days, especially in a young population. Irregular periods, scanty menses, acne, and excessive weight gain these things are commonly seen in PCOS patients. I would suggest you consult your gynecologist and then take tablet Deviry (Methoxyprogesterone) 10 mg for five days after stopping this tablet your periods should start within 2 to 7 days. I also want that you should start taking a proper course to regulate your subsequent cycles, but before recommending anything else I want answer to question,

  1. Is there acne or excessive hair on your face or body?
  2. I hope I could help you, feel free to ask any questions.

    Thank you.

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