Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Menses: Reasons for irregularity include weight gain or loss, alcohol use, eating disorders, marked emotional stress, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical polyps, polycystic ovarian syndrome, excessive exercise & pregnancy. If you have 3 abnormal menstrual cycles in a row - I would seek gynecological evaluation.
