Spiralling - hormonal imbalance
Hiya,
I was feeling v rundown & tired for some time & had bloods taken back in January & was diagnosed with anaemia & given tablets. I don’t feel like they helped at all & they were just for 3 months & feel as tired/run down as ever.
At the time, it came up in conversation with my Mum that I was having irregular periods (I have a tracker app & consistently for well over a year). What once lasted 5 days max & came every 28 days was now 10 days max & every 19 days…..The Doctor did ask about periods but seemed more concerned if if they were heavy or sore.
Flash forward 3 months & I call up re medication to stop periods on holiday & just mentioned the irregularity again & the (male this time) Doctor books me in for hormonal imbalance blood tests. I’ve been Googling & they can be for thyroid issues (which the bloods in Jan also covered), infertility (👶🏼👶🏼), PCOS (no) or pre/peri menopause (Doc already counted it out as too young).
I’m just curious if anyone else has had these kinds of tests & what came of it?
