Irregular periods: irregular ovulation, can cause a build up of the uterine lining, resulting in bleeding. Treatments to prevent and correct this buildup are recommended. See your doctor for an exam and possible ultrasound of the uterine lining.

Agree with Dr. B: Your doctor can prescribe a type of pill that can limit your period to once a year. Take iron and multivitamin supplements to prevent anemia. Consult this site. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx
