Hello
I'm a 19 year old girl. I started having periods from the age of 14. It was all normal for few years but from last two years I'm facing the problem of irregular periods. I get periods in 3-4 months. There is no fixed date, I can get them anytime. I have proper diet and is a healthy person but don't know why suddenly this missing of periods? I consulted two different doctors, one homopethic doctor, he has given me medicine which I'm taking thrice everyday as recommemded by him but I feel it is of no use. I even consulted a gynachologist a year back, she didn't give me any medicine saying it is normal. But I know this is not right, something is defenetly wrong with me. Can someone tell me whether it is actually normal or there can be anything serious which I need to take care of?

Hi anonymous and thanks for your question.

Irregular periods can be caused by many different things. They are fairly typical in young women and often are due to changes in your body's level of the hormones estrogen and progesterone.

Irregular periods can also be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, for example polycystic ovary disease (PCOS), uterine fibroids, thyroid disease, a reaction to medication and more.

You may want to see your doctor for an overall health checkup and, if a visit to a gynecologist is in order, then see someone different this time, someone who will take your concerns seriously.

You know your body better than anyone else, and your gut is telling you that something is off.

I hope this helps and encourage you to keep on advocating for your own health and seeking the answers you need and deserve.

Best,

Pam
