Talk to a healthcare practitioner or doctor, if you are experiencing the problem from a prolonged period. Explain about the problem and the measure you have been taking for its treatment and symptoms you are facing.

These are less common causes but should be considered. Often an ultrasound will be required to evaluate the uterus, the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. Ultrasound of the uterus is useful and painless.
