Can see family dr: Many of these issues can be addressed by your family doctor and if they cannot address them they can refer you to a gynecologist. This is a good first place to start.

Advised.: Irregular periods are caused when your body's signals for ovulation and menstruation get confused by hormonal imbalances that can be related to your thyroid (TSH), pituitary (LH/FSH/prolactin), ovaries (estrogen/progesterone). Many external factors can affect the hormones: malnutrition, stress, obesity, for example. Hormonal contraception can help to regulate your periods, which is healthier.
