Hi sir/ma'am, I'm 27 I only had few time in my life have period that is also in very less amount if I'm saying it correct, from past 1 year I don't think I had my periods, all my test are completely fine and I don't what is the problem with me. First doctor suggested me some medication but that reacted me and I had rashes and pimple in my body which is very uncomfortable because that time I was in school , so I decided not to take medicine and some people suggested me it will become normal cause maybe I have pcos , I don't what I have and that doctor never told what is the problem just prescribed medicine. Now , at the age of 27 I started to worry about my health, I know many people think why I'm speaking so late because some people don't have money to visit doctor regularly but now I have a government job and finally I can focus on my health so please suggest me what should I do?

Ans: Scanty periods or No periods can be due to many reasons. If your cycles are always been like this, then you need to meet an endocrinologist to check your hormonal levels. Stress could be another important factor which plays a major role in hormonal imbalance

Ans: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that can cause irregular or absent menstrual periods.
Higher amounts of androgens in PCOS can interfere with egg development and ovulation, leading to skipped or absent periods.
One of the best ways to cope with PCOS is to maintain a healthy bodyweight, eat nutritious foods and exercise regularly.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES:
Eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight can help regulate your menstrual cycle
BIRTH CONTROL PILLS:
Combination oral contraceptives (COCs) can help regulate menstrual periods and treat acne and hirsutism. It can take up to six months to see if birth control is effective.
ANTIESTROGENS:
These medicines can help with skin and hair growth problems
METFORMIN
This diabetes medicine can help control ovulation and androgen levels, which can make menstrual cycles more regular
Supplements containing
Myo ionositol, chirositol, vitamin D, chromium also helps in maintaining pco

Career
I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
