Asking For Self, Female 24, Islamabad
my age at menarche was 12. I've never had a regular monthly menstrual cycle. i missed them often. about 3 years ago i took a homeopathic med. whenever i used to take that my periods would come and if i miss that month tou no periods stopped taking after few months. started exercise and ginger tea earlier this year. had regular periods for 2 or 3 months. after ramzan, i skipped periods for about 3 months. in August i got my periods. since then i get them every month not on same time also they are prolonged. i had slight but prolonged bleeding. but this time it was slight earlier but it's veen a wk i am having good menstrual flow (2-3 pads a day). last year a had an episode of severe menorrhagia. I don't know if it's oligomenorrhea or menorrhagia. and what are the causes. kindly help. what to do. i feel k home based remedies do work for me and i don't want hormone supplements but i am worried.
Have an ultrasound done and some vaseline tests are required to rule out Polycystic ovarian syndrome. Also you have to control your weight if you are overweight.
you need proper evaluation
you are young & all life's parameters are still to achieve
so get an appointment & take any treatment after check up.
Don't self medicate
Monitor your diet/sleep/weight and reduce stress if any. Meanwhile consult a nearby gynaecologist for ultrasound because such irregularities in cycles can be due to hormonal changes or sometimes cysts/polycystic ovarian syndrome especially if facial hair have also appeared. Don't delay get yourself examined.
