A member asked:
Should you be worried if you're 17 and having irregular periods? it comes once in a while like 3-4 months and is usually a light to moderate flow.

Maybe: If your bmi(body mass index) is higher than is appropriate for your height then periods are known to be irregular or absent. If this continues see a md soon.
