Dr. Perambalur Ayyadurai Rohith
I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

1. Missing periods for 2 months along with facial hair growth suggests a possible hormonal imbalance commonly seen in PCOS.

2. The tiny clotted blood you noticed may be breakthrough spotting and not a regular period.

3. PCOS causes irregular cycles weight changes acne and unwanted hair growth due to increased male hormones.

Irregular periods, prolonged bleeding, and changes in facial hair can indicate an underlying balance, often related to hormonal shifts. Missing periods for two months, a term called amenorrhea, combined with spotting and increased facial hair might suggest a condition known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or another hormonal imbalance. PCOS is a common condition where the ovaries may produce more androgens (male hormones), leading to irregular menstrual cycles, hirsutism (excessive facial and body hair), and sometimes, tiny cysts in the ovaries.

However, these symptoms could have other explanations too, such as thyroid issues or hyperprolactinemia—an excess production of prolactin from the pituitary gland. To pinpoint the cause, a visit to a healthcare provider is essential. They will want a detailed history, physical examination, and will likely request blood tests to assess levels of hormones like FSH, LH, thyroid hormones, prolactin, and testosterone.

Sometimes, imaging studies like an ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries are needed to look for structural abnormalities or ovarian cysts. It’s important not to dismiss these symptoms, as untreated hormonal imbalances can affect fertility and may have other long-term health impacts, such as increased risk of diabetes or heart disease. If pregnancy is a possibility, a pregnancy test is a logical first step given the missed periods.

Immediate medical attention isn’t urgent unless you experience acute pain, heavy prolonged bleeding, dizziness, or other alarming symptoms that could indicate more serious conditions, such as ectopic pregnancy or tumors, which are rarer but serious. In terms of lifestyle, maintaining a healthy weight with regular exercise and a balanced diet can sometimes help regulate menstrual cycles. Also, managing stress through mindfulness, yoga, or other relaxing activities sometimes makes a difference. Medical treatment, if necessary, often involves hormonal contraceptives to regulate periods and medications to manage other symptoms like unwanted hair. Consult your doctor for the most appropriate course of action tailored to your specific condition and health needs.
