A member asked:
I am 20 years old. since i can remember, i have had irregular periods, about 3-4 months late each time. why does this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A number of reasons: There are a number of reasons a woman can have irregular periods. Most common is lack of ovulation. This can be caused by irregularity in hormones, such as abnormal prolactin or thyroid, or being underweight or overweight, or eating too much soy products. You will need to work with your doctor to figure out the cause.
