I am currently managing PCOD and have completed a two month course, now starting my third month. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent and severe headaches. My doctor advised me to get my prolactin levels tested, and my blood report shows a prolactin level of 44.45 ng per ml. Could you please advise what steps I should take next?

A slightly raised prolactin level can occur in PCOD or even due to stress. Your doctor may adjust medication accordingly. Exercise helps in resolving PCOD. Stay calm, and track this with repeat testing.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

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

Hi, last year I experienced an irregular menstrual cycle and did not get my periods for 1.5 months. When I consulted a gynecologist, she prescribed a tablet for 10 days, and after 15 days, I got my periods. My scan report showed no ovarian cysts, and my blood report showed no thyroid issues. Everything was normal. Now, after 3 to 4 months, I am facing the same irregular cycle. It has been 2.5 months, and I still have not got my periods. How can I overcome this?

Since my first menstrual cycle I had irregular periods. During the last three years the problems have increased, including lower abdomen pain during the delayed period as premenstrual cramps. The cramps are less painful during the periods but due to bloating the flow has not been good. I sneeze a lot when the blockage happens and then the flow is released with lumps. My stamina, resistance to infections, immunity, memory, and other health aspects have decreased over time with an increase in headache resulting in migraine, nausea, restlessness, bad mood, anxiety, and back pain. Digestion has also been an issue during the last three years as I traveled to a few cities which led to stomach infections that took more than a year to improve. Still the problem exists. This time I got the results of the tests and I am attaching them here. Vitamin D25 hydroxy is 41.26 nmol per L. Looking at all my problems, please let me know natural solutions and vitamin supplements?
