Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have noticed that my menstrual cycles have been occurring with a 21-day gap. Additionally, the flow during my last two periods has been lighter compared to previous times. I recently got married that is two months ago, and I am experiencing some unusual changes, such as an increase in breast size. Kindly provide your insight.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. I would like to inform you that the changes you are experiencing could possibly be due to hormonal changes caused by the recent change in environment. Additionally, being sexually active can also influence these changes. I want to assure you that these changes are temporary, and your menstrual cycles should return to normal. It is common for hormonal fluctuations to occur due to factors such as added stress, changes in the environment, or new experiences. However, with time, your cycle should regulate and become as normal as before. To support this process, I suggest you perform exercise daily, consume nutritious food, get adequate rest, and avoid stress. Practicing meditation can also be beneficial in maintaining a regular cycle. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
