A member asked:
Someone i know has irregular menstrual cycles. it comes on every other week... is that normal or should she get checked out? and what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, check it out: It is probably a matter of hormone imbalance that can be corrected easily with medication. If she is very overweight, then losing weight might help. If she is older, then part of her evaluation would include testing for uterine cancer, which is not common.
