The menstrual cycle in a female can range from 21 to 35 days, varying from person to person. Periods are considered to be delayed or late when they don’t begin even after 5 or more days from the date they are expected (as per the usual duration of her menstrual cycle). In some cases, the periods may even get delayed by weeks or months altogether. It is normal for the periods to be irregular or delayed in the initial months or year when they first begin (menarche). Delayed periods are also normal in women in the menopausal age. In some cases, delayed periods may also indicate pregnancy. Homeopathic medicines for delayed periods aim at removing the cause that is causing hindrance/suppression of periods.
Some other medical conditions that can cause periods to get delayed include hormonal imbalance, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), thyroid disorders, pituitary tumors, and several other diseases including diabetes, liver dysfunction, celiac disease. Other contributing factors include being overweight/underweight, extreme exercise, stress, use of oral contraceptive pills (they can bring changes in the normal menstrual cycle ) and some medications, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants.

Hi Dr Sharma
I haven’t gotten period for months. I was on bio dynamic hormones for a year and I decided to try to let my body work. Prior to this I would drink raw milk daily and get it back. They say I’m in OVarian Failure. My fsh is 67.2. They couldn’t find my ovaries on ultrasound. I tried now the ooestrogen and progesterone homeopathics but not luck yet. I was going to try Pulsatilla? I started raw milk again so let’s see. If I was rich I would do hemologous ozone more often. I also was taking folliculin every so often and posit 200c. I go through phrases where I’m on something for a bit fish oil, coq10 etc. now I’m trying to keep things more simple. Thanks !
