Irregular periods
I have irregular periods since 6-7 years. I was diagnosed with pcod. Took homeopathic treatment for 2 years. My periods got regular but i still had pcod ( diagnosed in ultrasound). Also i had a hemorrhagic cyst in my left ovary and pcod in right ovary which was diagnosed 7 months back.
I took allopathic treatment for both problems. And after 4 months, both ovaries were fine.
Now my medicine stopped last month. I had my last period on 3rd sept. Also had an unusual bleeding like a period on 17sept after sex that lasted 4-5 days.
Now i didn't get my period this month i.e. October.
What should be done now? Do i have a cyst again? As the symptoms that i had earlier are happening again ie. Weight gain, harifall, acne, weak digestion
Please suggest what to do.
Hii... irregular menstrual cycle is quiet common in PCOS. Weight gain,hair fall and acne are typical features of PCOS. There is no permanent treatment for PCOS as it is not a disease but it's a cluster of some features due to hormonal disturbances. Lifestyle modification is the best option for controlling severity. It includes diet restriction to 1200cal- for this u can do calorie counting by installing any app (eg,healthify me), and doing exercises like brisk walking/skipping(diet +exercise works better,than either alone- so no cheating) . Atleast 5% -10% of weight loss will correct hormonal changes and regularise ur cycles. If you had sex then it's always better to rule out pregnancy first. So better u consult a doctor nearby who will evaluate you in detail and prescribe you accordingly.
Next Steps
Undergo urine pregnancy test first. Then u can consult a gynaecologist who will do a basal scan and give medicines for withdrawal periods and suggest you on haemorrhagic cyst depending on its size.
Health Tips
limit rice and rice products - as they are carbohydrates and u will gain weight quickly. Take plenty of fruits and vegetables. U can replace rice with either quinoa or millets.
