Question
Hello doctor,
Lately, I often miss my period. Sometimes, every 4.5 months, menstruation comes once. I have never had a baby. I went to the doctor for a regular gynecological exam and then gave me medicine to get my period. The doctor told me what to do if I only get my period once every 4-5 months? Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you doctor.
