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

I am trying to get pregnant and had intercourse twice during my ovulation period. My period is now 7 days late, but my home pregnancy test is negative, and my blood test shows an hCG level less than 2. I am unsure why my period is delayed. Should I wait for one more week before visiting a doctor, or should I see a doctor now?

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.
