Hi,

There are many causes of irregular periods, most common being stress. If you are having irregular periods in 3-4 consecutive cycles then I would recommend seeing a gynecologist.

If PMS symptoms are lasting this long (3 weeks in total every cycle) I would suggest getting antidepressant treatment for it if your gynecologist does not find any medical condition responsible for it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
