Hello Doctor,

 

I'm quite concerned because my period is 45 days late. What steps should I take to address this situation? Are there common reasons for such a significant delay, and is it advisable to seek professional medical advice? Are there any home remedies or lifestyle changes I can consider before consulting a healthcare professional?
