A member asked:

If hormones appear to be normal what could be causing multiple periods a month and the cessation of previous regular cycles + cramps & acne? f 24yo

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Polycystic ovarian: syndrome/insulin resistance most likely. Many times testing will still be in normal ranges, but all must be viewed in total context.
