ANSWER: Hello, sujana,

Please know that I am a woman.

Are you thinking you might be pregnant? Taking pills like that is not a good idea. They are dangerous, and they don't really solve any problems.

If you have no symptoms of pregnancy, then there is another problem. By 6 months, if you are pregnant, you should have symptoms. You should notice that your belly is growing, and you should have other symptoms. If you don't have these, then the thing I suspect is most likely is that you may be a vegan. If you are, then the problem is malnutrition. The vegan diet can often stop periods. The body needs some animal fat to make the hormones necessary for a period, over many years. A woman's body will make the hormones for awhile, but cannot make them forever. So you should be getting some animal fat. You can get it from cheese or eggs. Try some cheese and spinach in garam masala sauce. If you eat eggs, be sure and eat the yolks.

Let me know if any of this is helpful. But please don't take toxic pills. Your system is already not balanced properly, if you are not pregnant, and pills will only make it worse.

Please let me know how you do, and tell me more about your diet and any symptoms you might have. Take care.

Answer
Hello, sujana,

OK, now it makes sense that you don't have periods. I'm wondering if the doctor scraped deep enough that sshe destroyed the layer that makes the lining that is shed during menstruation. If he did, it is unlikely any kind of pills will fix the problem. Depo shots are notorious for stopping a woman's period. These powerful and dangerous medications cause serious problems with a woman's hormonal balance. Taking more strong medications isn't going to fix the problem. I can't advise you to take more toxic drugs. Ovral is a contraceptive, so it would probably stop your period as well. I think the doctor is hoping that if you take a huge dose, when your body recovers, you will have your period again. But taking such a huge dose can be medically very dangerous. It can cause a heart attack or other problem with your circulatory system. It can cause or aggravate breast cancer. It can harm your liver, gallbladder, or your vision. It can also make you more prone to diabetes. If you are a smoker, it is even more dangerous.

Deviry can also stop menstruation, although it can also do the opposite. It can cause your bones to break, or cause heart attack, or could cause various organs to fail. It will cause Vitamin D deficiency, and that is dangerous and will make you subject to various contagious diseases, such as flu, or sexually transmitted diseases. It could also make a medical condition you already have much worse.

Medical treatment for things like endometriosis may be fairly successful, but when it comes to medications, almost everything doctors do is harmful. There is a huge amount of corruption in the medical profession when it comes to drugs.

I think the doctor is shooting in the dark. But I could fully explain your problem based on the drugs you have been taking. So please don't take any more drugs. You need to leave your body alone and let it return to its normal hormonal balance, if it can. I recommend you go to an Ayurvedic practitioner and start on some herbs. Or just leave your body alone and see if it returns to normal in a few months. Please take care, and let me know how things go.
