What Causes Irregular Periods, Bloating And Spotting?

What could be causing my irregular periods? I have one every 2 weeks then it will go 7 weeks. I feel bloated also. My hormones were tested 6 months ago and all was well. I am a 49 year old female. I started this morning after 2 weeks but it seems to be just spotting. Nothing heavy

Hello ma'am and welcome.

There can be various causes for irregularity of your menstrual cycle, let me list a few here so you can discuss them with your doctor as I cannot really pin-point the cause without a thorough discussion (two-way) with you. They are:

+Stress
+Medications
+Infections
+Systemic conditions
+Abnormalities with the uterus (e.g. polyps, fibroids, etc.)
+Abnormalities with the inner lining of the uterus (e.g. endometriosis)
+Abnormalities of surrounding structures (e.g. polycystic ovaries)
and a few others.

Please speak to your doctor for an elaborate evaluation and appropriate management. Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
