I had a sixteen day period flow last month. I visited a local doctor who prescribed medicine to stop the flow and asked me to visit a gynecologist if it continued. My flow stopped after taking the prescription. After a week, my flow started again, so I visited a gynecologist. The gynecologist said everything is normal and the flow may be due to hormonal changes or thyroid issues. He gave me a prescription and asked for a blood test to check thyroid. My flow stopped again after taking the prescription, and I got my blood tested. Currently, all hospitals in my area are full, so I could not visit the gynecologist to show my blood test report. I have attached my blood test report and the prescription. Please guide me about my condition now and future prescription if I get periods again with long flow duration?

Extended bleeding can stem from thyroid dysfunction or hormonal imbalance. Please do a Thyroid Panel and Pelvic Ultrasound to identify cause.

This is my routine blood test report, which I take every 3 to 6 months to check my thyroid. Last time, the doctor advised me to take Thyronorm 75 mg tablet, which I completed yesterday. I have now gone for my checkup. I just want to know whether I have to continue the same medicine or not. My reports are attached above.

I have irregular periods, and my blood report shows that my prolactin level is quite high. My gynecologist has prescribed tablets to help regulate my periods, but I am concerned about the elevated prolactin. Should this be treated separately, and what could be the reason for the high prolactin level?
