Hi
Hormonal imbalance is the main cause of irregular periods. Polycystic ovaries and hypothyroidsm should be ruled out.
Ultrasound pelvis,FSH LH hormone ratio ,thyroid profile and blood sugar level , body mass index is essential to identify the cause of irregular periods.
Hormonal pills should be taken monthly for 3 to 6 months for normal menstrual cycle to resume.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
