Irregular periods may include:
- Delayed cycles

Occasional changes may occur due to stress or travel, but repeated irregularity requires medical assessment.

How We Diagnose Irregular Periods
Diagnosis begins with understanding your menstrual history and symptoms. Depending on clinical findings, investigations may include:
- Hormonal blood tests
- Thyroid function testing
- Pelvic ultrasound
- Blood sugar assessment
- Pregnancy test (if required)
Not all patients require extensive testing. Investigations are guided by symptoms.
Our Approach to Restoring Menstrual Balance
Management begins with understanding your cycle pattern, lifestyle habits, stress levels, and medical history. Rather than immediately prescribing medication, we first identify what is disturbing your hormonal rhythm.
After reviewing necessary investigations such as ultrasound or hormonal tests, a targeted treatment plan is created. This may include short-term medication to regulate bleeding, hormonal correction if imbalance is detected, or thyroid management where required.
Lifestyle factors are also addressed when relevant, as weight fluctuation, stress, and insulin resistance often contribute to irregular cycles.
Follow-up visits are important to monitor improvement. As the body responds to treatment, cycles gradually become predictable and stable. The aim is not just temporary control, but long-term menstrual regularity and reproductive health protection.
