Hello doctor, I am 18 year old. It's been 10 days that I have skipped my period. I am very regular on my period of about a gap of 33 days. I also track my menses but this time it didn't happen on time. I've been fasting and also I had gone on a trip abroad that completely ruined my sleep cycle when I returned to India. I slept in the day and stayed up at night but now it's back to normal. I was also a little sick in between and I stopped my medicine makes nexito5. I also have a little pain in the area below the navel. What should I do.

Hi lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help. Your missing periods this time, most probably, could be due to a change of location, environment, diet, lifestyle, stress etc all that might have triggered some hormonal changes. You need to keep your diet and lifestyle streamlined with due focus on regular de-stressing, relaxation, exercises etc all. Preferably, a Mediterranean diet including more of whole grains, fresh leafy greens & seasonal fruits on a daily basis, can be helpful. Also, do take plenty of rest and its better to avoid strenuous physical/ mental work including driving etc all, till you get well. Hopefully, the above-mentioned shall help stabilize your menstrual cycle. Simultaneously, advise meet up your OB/ GYN too for further clinical evaluation and treatment as contextually appropriate. Hope this helps. Do take care and all the very best. Sincerely,
