A member asked:
What can cause a woman's period to change every month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some thoughts...: In a woman with periods, some causes of a later period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (like birth control pills), hormonal imbalances, etc… seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome. Pregnancy is the common cause of a missed period, if sexually active.
