My age is 41. I am suffering from irregular periods and I am being treated by a gynecologist. This month I missed my period. Pregnancy test is negative. USG report and Pap smear test are also negative. I have no other problem in my body. What is the reason for my missed period? Please help me. Thanks.

At 41 years, missed periods may be part of perimenopause, which is a normal hormonal transition before menopause. Since your pregnancy test, ultrasound, and pap smear are all negative, theres likely no serious issue. Hormone shifts can cause temporary cycle changes even if you feel healthy. A few simple hormone blood tests can help confirm this stage.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a FSH,LH & Prolactin, Serum Test

My wife has missed her periods. We have done two pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. We always use protection during sex. We are concerned, what could be the reason for her missed periods, and what should we do?

My last period was on February 25, and I still have not gotten my period. I did a beta HCG test on March 25, which was 0.4 (negative), and a urine pregnancy test on April 2, which was also negative. What should I do next?

Doctor my periods are delayed for 12 days. I performed a urine pregnancy test and it is negative. I also did a beta hcg test and it is also negative. Doctor can you give me some suggestions?
