Delayed Periods: Possible Causes & Solutions

Patient's Query

My periods is delaying My last periods was on august 20

Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel



There are a variety of factors that can cause a delay in menstruation. STRESS, WEIGHT, and PCOS are all common. PREGNANCY or menopause are also possible explanations for a late period. If you are SEXUALLY ACTIVE, it is recommended that you take a pregnancy test. Otherwise, it may be best to simply WAIT IT OUT. If your period still hasn't arrived after a month, it's time to CONSULT A DOCTOR.

I had protected sex on april four days after my period. The next month was period was a day late so i had one full papaya and ginger tea with other spice and jaggery and exercised a lot. My period arrived but was comparatively light normal clots and heavy cramps. Is there any possibility am pregnant

Female | 20

It's not probable for you to be pregnant if your menstrual cycle arrived even if it was a little different than usual. At times, periods may be lighter or heavier due to factors such as stress or dietary changes. Cramps and clots are also normal occurrences during menstruation. However, if you’re still concerned about being pregnant, take a pregnancy test.

I have a reoccurring vaginal pimple on my left labia. this has been happening for a couple of months and i shave frequently, though this happens when there more sweat and shaving involved. the pimple shows up typically one to two weeks after shaving. i was wondering if i should be worried especially if it’s reoccurring?

Female | 17

It may be caused due to ingrown hair, blocked hair follicles, or skin irritation from shaving or sweat. TO avoid this, u can try keeping the area clean, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and considering alternative hair removal methods. If it still doesn't heal then check with a gynecologist for proper treatment.

Hi doctor. My partner and I had only outercourse on 24th may. No intercourse. No penetration. Only dry humping with my boyfriend constantly wearing his tight boxers. Out of fear I took an ipill on 26th may (within 48 hours). I had a bleeding from 3rd june to 8th june (Light bleeding, like periods). Was it withdrawal bleeding, and if so, then am I safe from pregnancy. My last periods was on 17th May, so when may I expect my next periods, Dr.? I am really worried, I need your professional guidance and an assurance if possible, Dr.

Female | 24

Let me assure you that the chances of pregnancy from outercourse with protection like tight boxers are incredibly low. The bleeding you experienced from 3rd to 8th June may likely be withdrawal bleeding from the emergency contraceptive pill you took, which is a common side effect. Given that your last period was on 17th May, your cycle might be a bit irregular this month due to the emergency pill. You can expect your next period within the next few weeks. If you don't get it by then, a simple home pregnancy test can provide further reassurance.
