Hello doctor, I am a 17-year-old female and my periods have been irregular and heavy from the beginning. It has been almost four to five years since I got my first period. But they are still irregular. For the past two years, I have used some medicines, but they have worsened my situation. After using those medicines, my period came after five months and they were long. So, I consulted an ayurvedic doctor and the ayurvedic medicines worked back then. But now, nothing is working. I cannot go to college since I feel I need complete rest. Currently, I got my periods two weeks back. My period will not stop till I use an effective and a strong medicine. My period comes once in every two to three months and lasts for more than two weeks. At the end, it gets heavy too. So every time it comes, I will have to take medications to stop it. But now, I am fed up with all these medicines. I have also tried a homeopathic medicine called Sabina, but they are also not effective. In the past, Yes, I have used Regesterone and as it did not work, the doctor prescribed Femina tablets. Please tell me what is happening with me and suggest a nice and effective method. Please help.
Hello. Your problem is PCOD (polycystic ovary disease). I suggest you take Novelon (Ethinyl Estradiol and Desogestrel) two tablets today with milk to avoid acidity and two tablets for the next two to three days until bleeding subsides and then one tablet daily to complete 21 tablets. Along with this, I suggest you take Texid (Tranexamic Acid) 500 mg two to three times a day till bleeding subsides. You should get all the relevant tests done in fasting state You need to get a gynecological ultrasound to rule out PCOD and to look for endometrial thickness. You also need to get a thyroid profile done, FBS (fasting blood sugar) and PPBS (postprandial blood sugar), fasting and postprandial insulin, and Sprolactin.
