Hello and welcome to HCM,
Irregular periods in healthy menstruating females is commonly caused by hormonal imbalance, endometrial disorders, fibroid etc.
You need to get a pelvic ultrasound to assess the endometrial thickness and status of ovaries and other structures.
You need to consult your gynecologist for pelvic examination and endometrial biopsy if required.
Management will depend on result of all these investigations.
Thanks and take care
