Specializes in Psychiatry

Depends on reason: For chronic problems with an irregular period see your gynecologist. Reasons for irregularity include weight gain or loss, breastfeeding, alcohol use, eating disorders, marked emotional stress, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical polyps, polycystic ovarian syndrome, excessive exercise & pregnancy. When a girl has just started menstruating & around time of menopause periods can be irregula.
