Health Q&A
Irregular periods

My periods started at age 14 and became irregular around age 15. At age 16, I was told that I had ovarian cysts and was prescribed medicines to regulate my periods. I was also given another large pink-colored tablet, but I don’t remember its name. After taking the medicines, I experienced sudden weight gain. I later consulted another doctor who said the previous medicine dosage may not have been appropriate. PCOD/PCOS was never confirmed. My periods are still very irregular—sometimes I don’t get them for around 3 months and sometimes up to 9 months. I want to know the possible cause and what tests or evaluation I need.

Menstrual Cramps

I have these intense painful cramps during periods If I don't take medicine it lasts for a complete day which is too unbearable for me. I also use a hot water bag but it doesn't help me. I was thinking is there any remedy or syrup something I can drink so before my period so that there is not much pain in period.

Please suggest when should I start taking folic acid and other medications to conceive and everything goes well. No smoking/drinking. Working out and trying to be on healthy diet on most days. Please suggest ?
