A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irreg menses: High ketosteroids may indicate an adrenal malfunction. Such can inhibit regular ovulation, and hence cause irregular menses, since a "true" menstrual flow depends on ovulation to occur approximately 14 days prior to menstrual flow. Ask your healthcare provider to refer you to a reproductive endocrinologist.
