Hello doctor a friend of mine is not getting her...

Management of irregular periods

irregular periods are fairly common among women of different age groups , this can be totally benign but it can also indicate a serious medical condition that should be addressed and managed carefully .Generally we recommend taking enough rest daily , drink good amount of water , hve a balanced diet that is calories- rich to replace lost weight , get at least 6 hours of sleep dailyand to avoid both severe physical and emotional  stress .this is important because both factors i.e emotional stress and malnutrition can contribute to period abnormalities by adversely affecting the function of hypothalamus that is responsible for stimulating the ovulation process .So we recommend that she takes both ferrous gluconate 325 mg twice daily and multivitamin complex supplements once daily .if no improvement seen she may need to see a gynecologist
