A member asked:

Why do i have irregular period bleeding? how unbalanced must my hormones be?

Dr. David Geffner answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Not at all: Depending on how irregular you should see a gynecologist. There are many causes for irregular bleeding - and they are not all hormonal.
