Irregular Periods: Causes, When to Worry & What to Do

It is normal for a girl to have irregular periods for the first few years after she starts menstruating. This is because her body is still getting used to the hormonal changes that come with menstruation. However, if a girl has been having regular periods for a while and then suddenly starts having them again, it could be a sign of a medical condition. Some possible causes of irregular periods include:

* Pregnancy

* Hormonal imbalances

* Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

* Thyroid problems

* Diabetes

* Eating disorders

* Stress

If you are concerned about your irregular periods, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
