Hello Doctor, I am 18 years old. I did not get my period until the age of 16. At that time, a doctor prescribed some medication to help start my periods. After taking the tablets, I got my period only once, and then it stopped again. However, for the past two months, I have been getting my period 3 to 4 times a month. It stops for just 2 to 3 days and then starts again. My recent blood report shows that my prolactin levels are high. Please help me understand what might be causing this and what treatment I may need?

Irregular bleeding plus high prolactin suggests a hormone imbalance. Repeat the prolactin fasting, add thyroid and female hormones, and sometimes do a pituitary MRI. Once the cause is fixed, cycles usually settle.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a FSH,LH & Prolactin, Serum Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

View allI am sharing my miscarriage report. This is my first conception in 3 years, but unfortunately, I lost the pregnancy. I have been diagnosed with bilateral PCOS, but this report shows only a cyst on my left ovary, while the right ovary appears normal. Does this mean my PCOS is cured or improved? I am feeling confused and would appreciate your clarification.

I am suffering from PCOD again. I was diagnosed with it a few years back and was suggested laparoscopic treatment. Last week I was again diagnosed with PCOD. I sometimes feel like I am having a heart attack. I am also suffering from depression, severe anxiety, hallucinations, headaches, and migraine. Since childhood I have had major or minor health problems. I am a vegetarian and do not eat much oily food. My weight is 51 kg. I have increased hair growth all over my body including on my breasts. I have severe pain during my menstrual periods which is totally unbearable. I experience pain in the whole body and sometimes nausea. I am getting acne, whiteheads, and other skin issues on my face. My breasts have sagged and increased in size in recent years and I feel they look bad, the size is 34. I want to reduce it. My shoulder line is smaller than my waist line. My height is 5 feet 2 inches. I also have acidity and gastritis problems. Will exercise or yoga help me. My parents are not allowing me to do any exercise activities. Please guide me about PCOD. I am attaching my USG pelvis report and blood report.

I have attached my recent medical report for your reference. I am currently taking Divery 10 mg tablets, prescribed to help induce my periods, and today is the last (5th) day of the course. However, I still have not gotten my period. Along with this, I am experiencing several other symptoms including full body pain, hair fall, mood swings, irritability, lack of focus, weakness, morning dizziness (especially on days I do not exercise), and muscle pain throughout the day.
