Hypothyroidism can cause missed or irregular periods, even with medication. Thyrox 25 mcg may be a low dose if periods are absent rechecking TSH levels is important. Also check for PCOS, prolactin imbalance, or stress related cycle delays. If not pregnant, your doctor may prescribe short term progesterone to induce periods.

Question

Hello, I am a 27 year old unmarried female. I had TB and asthma in December and completed treatment in June. I also received COVID vaccinations. Since then, I have been experiencing lighter periods that start about 5 days before my expected cycle (my cycle is 28 days). After taking ginger, jaggery, turmeric, and milk, my flow becomes normal. I am also taking vitamins and protein powder. Previously, I had no menstrual problems. My recent blood reports are: Bilirubin: 0.6 mg/dl Hemoglobin: 11.3 g/dl RBC: 4.58 million/microlitre Platelets: 325,000/cmm TLC: 7000 Serum protein: 8 g/dl ESR: 45 mm HIV: Non reactive Blood glucose: 91 mg/dl Serum IgE: 61.2 IU/ml Please suggest what could be causing these changes in my menstrual cycle.

Question

I am unmarried and have been experiencing irregular periods due to thyroid issues. My gynecologist prescribed Yasmin tablets for 21 days, starting from the 5th day of my period. I have completed the 21 day course today. Could you please advise when I can expect my next menstrual cycle?

Question

My last period was in the first week of September. I had sex the next week and took an I pill within 48 hours, after which I spotted a few drops of brown blood after five days. I missed my period in October. This month, my period started 10 days late with pink blood accompanied by a transparent sticky discharge. The blood darkened on the second day. This period began with severe lower back pain, left stomach pain, lower abdominal pain, dizziness, a racing heart at night, and nausea. I took a home pregnancy test a week ago, which was negative. I was examined physically, but the doctor was not sure about pregnancy.
