Specializes in Internal Medicine - Endocrinology

Irregular Cycles: Are typically caused by annovulation, or lack of egg formation/release from the ovaries. This can be caused by a variety of problems. The most common cause is pcos, however this is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning your doctor needs to exclude other causes first.
