A member asked:

Should i see a doctor for irregular periods?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Irregularity in your menstrual cycle may signify a hormonal abnormalities. Simple hormonal tests such as thyroid stimulating hormone and prolactin and some male hormones to rule out polycystic ovarian syndrome can easily determine what may be causing the menstrual irregularity. With menstrual irregularity there is usually irregular ovulation.
