Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

It is been 90 days since my last period, and I am fairly certain I am not pregnant. I have had a history of irregular periods, and recently, I relocated from my home. Additionally, I have experienced some weight loss.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Khushbu

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

These irregular periods may stem from hormonal fluctuations, stress, recent environmental changes like your move from your home, dietary adjustments, and other factors.

You can consider taking a tablet of Norethisterone to induce withdrawal bleeding. Following this, it can be monitored over the next few cycles. If irregularities persist, further blood tests may be necessary to pinpoint the exact cause.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Khushbu

Hello,

Thank you for your reply

You can take a medication called tablet Norethisterone 5 mg, three times a day for three days, after meals. Consult your doctor and take the medicine accordingly.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask, and I will provide the necessary information.

I hope this helps, and that you return to a normal cycle soon.

Thank you.
