Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have not got my periods for three months after taking the i-pill. I am not pregnant. Please suggest what is wrong with my health. I have PCOS too. Is this the cause of a missed period?

Answered by Dr. Sahana Rao

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Have you checked the pregnancy test? If it is negative then PCOD (polycystic ovary disease) might be the most probable cause. PCOD causes irregular periods along with some hair growth. You can confirm it by the ultrasonography. Even thyroid problems can cause irregular cycles. So, get your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) checked.

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