I'm really worried because I've been having trouble with my periods this month. They're delayed by 12 days, which hasn't happened to me in over four years. My cycle's been super regular for the last two years, almost like clockwork. Four years ago, I had PCOD and took medication for it, and then three years ago, I had issues with my endometrium thickening, but medication helped with that. These last couple of years have been normal with regular exercise and good eating habits. But this past month, I've been really stressed and haven't exercised properly, which messed with my appetite too. Now I'm just spotting and having some white discharge, but then nothing else. It keeps repeating like that, with severe body pain and mood swings, plus bloating, but still no periods. What can I do to fix this?

While the delay in your period is likely linked to stress and lifestyle changes, given your history of PCOD and endometrial issues, its best to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, focusing on stress reduction, proper nutrition, and light physical activity may help improve your symptoms.

My wife has been dealing with an endometriosis cyst for over a year now. We tried allopathy first and then switched to Siddha medicine for the past 9 months it's helped but hasn't fully cured her. I'm wondering if Ayurveda and Siddha use similar treatments or if switching to Ayurveda might give better results. Is there any guarantee that Ayurveda can completely cure it? We really want to avoid surgery and are exploring alternative treatments. What would you suggest?

I recently had an USG that showed a mild retroflexed uterus. Could this cause any issues in the future? Is it something that can correct itself naturally or would I need surgery or medication for it?

So, I've missed my period by 13 days and I'm kind of worried. I was visiting my husband, and we had protected sex from December 4th to 5th. My period usually comes every 32 to 35 days, and it should have been between the 15th to 17th. I'm feeling the usual PMS symptoms like dull pain in my lower back and thighs. Do you think I could be pregnant or is there something else I should be concerned about? What should I do next?
