Period related issues
Hello Doctor,
I am 17 years old and have been experiencing irregular periods. My first period came when I was 15, but after that, there was a gap of 13 months before my second period. Since then, my periods have been very irregular and often very late. Whenever my periods come, I experience very severe cramps and pain. I do not have any issues with weight gain, hair fall, or unwanted hair growth. I have not been sexually active.
Could you please help me understand why my periods are irregular and why I am experiencing such severe cramps? What tests should I get done? What treatment options are available?
Thank you

Periods can be naturally irregular in the first few years but you can get an ultrasound and hormonal evaluation done to find out any abnormalities.

Please get your sonography of the lower abdomen done to exclude any anatomical reason for your symptoms.
You should consult a Gynaecologist with the report.

It takes about 2 years for the hormones to normalize after the first period. Since, you also have painful periods you can get evaluated to know the cause.
