This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have polycystic ovarian morphology on the left side, and my periods have not been regular for the last four months.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I understand that you have polycystic ovarian morphology on the left ovary and have not had your period for four months. This can be stressful, but it is something we can address. Polycystic ovarian morphology does not always mean PCOS (polycystic ovarian disease). Still, when periods are delayed like this, it often reflects hormonal imbalance, weight changes, stress, insulin resistance, or lifestyle factors.

The first step is to check a few hormones, such as TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), prolactin, LH (lutenizing hormone), FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), and fasting insulin, as well as an ultrasound, so we can understand what is affecting your cycle.

While waiting, you can start with lifestyle modifications:

  • Maintain a balanced diet low in refined sugar, increase physical activity for 30 to 40 minutes at least 4 to 5 days a week, manage weight if it is excessive, and aim for better sleep and stress reduction.
  • Many women also benefit from short-term hormonal treatment like progesterone to induce a withdrawal bleed, or sometimes Metformin if they may have signs of insulin resistance, but this must be evaluated and prescribed after proper consultation.
  • If in the next few weeks you still do not get your period or symptoms worsen (such as severe pain, excessive hair growth, or sudden weight gain), it would be best if we could personalize your treatment.

Your condition is manageable, and we will work on restoring your cycle step-by-step.

I hope this information will help you.

Kindly follow up if you have any further concerns.

Thank you.
