4 days apart
my last period ended 14 days ago and now started again. is this normal? i feel drained and always tired. i do take iron pillsfor my iron shortage, but sometimes it upsets my stomach. should i go see my dr about this? i also suffer from gerd, does it have an effect on one` s periods?
if this is the first time your period has been irregular, wait and see what happens next month. if it recurs, see your gynaecologist. iron tablets can cause stomach irritation. try to take them with food. gprd will not cause period problems.<br><br>best wishes
hi,
welcome to icliniq.com.
there are several factors that lead to irregular menses. weight loss or gain can also lead to irregular menses. i do not think you should worry too much about having a period after six days of finishing a normal period. in fact, your ovaries could be suppressed by birth control pills and have not returned back to normal function although you had normal menses. normally, it takes about three months for your ovaries to gain normal function after taking birth control for several years. unless you skipped 3 to 4 menses at a time i would not worry too much. Hello Darmawati,



Thank you for using the HealthReplies.com service.



Normal women have regular menstrual cycles, usually 11-13 times a year, or approximately once a month, with cycles every 21-35 days, and menstruation for 3-7 days. If you have not had your period more than 35 days since your last period, then you have menstrual disorders / late.



However, irregular menstruation can be caused by many causes, and treatment for each cause is certainly different. In many cases, menstrual disorders do not require medication, but only lifestyle changes and stress management can improve the patient's menstrual patterns. In other cases, menstrual pattern disorders can only be corrected by operative measures, such as in pituitary tumors. Therefore, before taking menstrual medicine, you must first know the cause of your disease.



Some diseases or conditions that can cause menstrual cycle disorders, such as:



Stress Use of contraception Pregnancy Polycystic Syndrome Thyroid Disease Menopause Pituitary tumors In diseases that are hormonal disorders, therapeutic treatments in the form of hormonal medications can be given, but it is recommended only to be consumed on a doctor's prescription / recommendation.
