What would cause rapid weight loss and irregular periods?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cancer: Of course, there are many things that can do this. However, i would definitely hook up with an ob/gyn and get this looked at. Depending on your age and other circumstances, an endometrial biopsy may be appropriate.
