I've been having irregular periods every month, and they never seem to come on the same date. Sometimes they're 5 days late, other times 9 days late. It's becoming a regular thing, and I'm starting to worry. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what might be causing this?

I've been taking folic acid and multivitamins for three months now, and my husband just had minor piles surgery. Should we be careful about anything during his recovery or with my supplements? I'm a bit worried about how this might affect us

Folic acid supplements are safe, and your husband should follow post-operative care for piles. No major precautions are needed unless advised by the surgeon.

I'm an unmarried girl and for the past 6 months, I've been dealing with my periods being delayed. It's been between 40 to 50 days now. I do everything like yoga and exercise, and my BMI is normal. I'm not sure why this is happening. I work in IT and sometimes have to work more than 9 hours. Could that be the reason? I'm quite confused and would appreciate some insight.

As an unmarried girl experiencing delayed periods (40-50 days) despite a normal BMI, yoga, and exercise, possible causes may include stress, hormonal imbalances, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can be triggered or exacerbated by long working hours (>9 hrs) and an IT profession's sedentary lifestyle.
