My elder daughter, Sonia, experienced irregular bleeding about two to three months ago. She recently informed me, and I decided to consult Dr. Deepthi, a gynecologist I've known for three to four years, for this condition. She is an excellent doctor in this field.

Some time ago, I noticed irregular bleeding during my periods. I initially tried home remedies, but after experiencing the same problem during my second period, I promptly consulted a doctor. She listened carefully to my concerns and provided treatment for the condition.
