Should I see a doctor if I have a irregular period?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: Hi i am 17 years old and have had my period for about 4 years. I have never had a regular period! They are always 2 - 4 months late. They are also EXTREMLY painful when i do get them, i sometimes feel like vomiting and fainting. I have spoken to my older cousin about this since i am very close with her and she suggests i should see a doctor but my mum won't let me go. Is this normal? Should i see a doctor? Thank you!

Condition analysis:

The first thing I would suggest is getting some anti-inflammatory medication for period pain, start it early and use it regularly to manage your period pain. Secondly, have a chat with your mum about why she doesn't want you to see a doctor. In any case, at 17 years old, you are definitely old enough to see a doctor by yourself although it would be nicer to have the support of your mum.

Instructions:

Turmeric: Being a warming herb, turmeric is also considered helpful in regulating menstruation and balancing hormones. Its emmenagogue properties help stimulate menstrual flow. Moreover, its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties relieve menstrual pain.

Consume one-quarter teaspoon of turmeric with milk, honey or jaggery. Take it daily for several weeks or until you see improvement.

You can also take turmeric in supplement form; consult your doctor for proper dosage.
