A member asked:

Why does mt period only come every 6 to 8 months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Hi. For sure is not normal that happens. It could be due to several reasons including polycystic ovary syndrome or disregulation between your ovaries and the glands that control them. Regardless of the reason, it can't be known without a thorough evaluation, history and physical examination. I hope this helps, have a nice day.
