A member asked:

Period has always been irregular(3-4x/year) what are alternative ways i can induce getting my period? herbal medicine, foods, exercises.. etc? thx

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You likely have: Polycystic ovaries. I would suggest some form of hormonal contraception and look into metformin, for some this will help weight, decrease incidence of type 2 diabetes and help with ovulation. Good luck, there is not vitamin or herbal solution.
