Is Your Cycle Trying to Tell You Something?
Your menstrual cycle is one of the most reliable indicators of your overall health. When it’s off — whether that means missing periods, wildly unpredictable timing, or symptoms that disrupt your daily life — your body may be trying to send you a signal.
Unfortunately, many women in Delhi live with irregular periods for years without seeking help, assuming it’s just how their body works. And while some variation is normal, persistent irregularity often points to something that can — and should — be treated.
If you’re in Vasant Kunj or nearby areas of South Delhi and have been struggling with an unpredictable cycle, help is just around the corner.
Common Signs You Need to See a Gynaecologist
It can sometimes be hard to know when “irregular” crosses into “I need to see a doctor.” Here are some clear signs it’s time to book an appointment: your periods come fewer than 21 days or more than 35 days apart, you regularly skip a period without being pregnant, your flow is extremely heavy or lasts longer than 7 days, you bleed between periods or after sex, you experience severe cramps that don’t respond to over-the-counter pain relief, or you’ve noticed significant changes in your cycle without an obvious reason.
Any one of these is a valid reason to get checked. At our Vasant Kunj clinic, we hear from women every day who wish they had come in sooner — because getting the right diagnosis earlier means easier, more effective treatment.
The Link Between Irregular Periods and Bigger Health Issues
Irregular periods are often a symptom rather than the problem itself. Some of the underlying conditions they can indicate include PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinaemia (excess prolactin hormone), insulin resistance, premature ovarian insufficiency, and stress-related hormonal disruption.
Some of these conditions, if left untreated, can affect fertility, bone health, heart health, and metabolic function. Early diagnosis and treatment protect not just your cycle — but your long-term health.
Our Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment
At our clinic in Vasant Kunj, we start with a detailed consultation to understand your full health history — not just your periods. We’ll discuss your lifestyle, stress levels, diet, weight changes, and any other symptoms you’ve noticed. We then order targeted investigations including blood tests to check hormone levels (FSH, LH, oestrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, prolactin, and androgens) and a pelvic ultrasound to check your ovaries, uterus, and endometrial lining.
Once we have a clear picture, we create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. This may include hormonal therapy, lifestyle and dietary guidance, management of underlying conditions like thyroid disease or PCOS, or referral for further specialised care when needed.
