Hi,
There are many factors which increase the chance of irregular menstruation. Most relate to hormone production. The two hormones that impact menstruation are estrogen and progesterone. These are the hormones that regulate the cycle. Sometimes these hormones get imbalanced in our body which leads to irregular cycles.
Other changes that are associated with irregular periods include:
extreme weight loss
extreme weight gain
emotional stress
eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia
endurance exercise, for example, marathon running.
if you are facing any of the above-mentioned causes then I suggest you work on it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Naira Jahangir, OB and GYN Specialist
