Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Hormonal irregularit: Many factors can influence your cycles. Diet, weight changes, stress, medications to name a few. Depending on your age and how long your symptoms have been present, a further/complete work-up may be in order. Follow up with your ob/gyn is prudent here.
