Here's some information that might help you understand your daughter's irregular and missed periods, as well as guidance on medication side effects.

1. Possible Causes of Irregular and Missed Periods

   • Irregular or missed periods can result from hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in diet or exercise, or underlying conditions such as thyroid problems, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, or pregnancy.
   • Lifestyle factors like excessive exercise, sudden weight changes, or emotional stress can also disrupt menstrual cycles.

2. Importance of Medical Evaluation

   • It is important to consult a gynecologist to determine the exact cause. The doctor may recommend blood tests to check hormone levels or an ultrasound to examine reproductive organs.
   • Early evaluation helps in timely management and prevents complications.

3. Understanding Medication Side Effects

   • To provide accurate information about side effects, please share the specific name of the medicine your daughter is taking.
   • Many medications, especially hormonal treatments or certain other drugs, can influence menstrual cycles by altering hormone levels or affecting ovulation.

4. Next Steps and Recommendations

   • Keep a detailed menstrual diary noting dates, flow, and any symptoms.
   • Share all current medications and any new symptoms with the gynecologist.
   • Follow professional advice for diagnosis and treatment to ensure proper care.

If your daughter experiences severe pain, very heavy bleeding, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
