A member asked:
My daughter is 17 and has had irregular periods since she started at 12. should she see someone or wait it out since she's still a teenager?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why wait: It is very common for young women to miss periods due to an immature hormonal system( it has to do with the brain producing LH and FSH). See your doctor who can regulate your periods, and/ or discuss this further with you
