Suffering from no periods
Hi,
I am mother of 3 year old daughter. I had bleeding for 20 days after delivery. I have not got periods after that. I have a history of high prolactin for which I took medications before my pregnancy. Is this a case of early menopause?

You might need a thorough evaluation for this amenorrhea but high level of prolactin can lead to anovulation and hence amenorrhea or absence of periods . Please consult online for better guidance

Do a pregnancy test with morning sample fasting urine . If negative start Tablet Meprate 10 mg twice a day for 5 days. You will get your periods after you stop taking the medication after 7 days.

1. Serum Prolactin
