A member asked:
Can sex cause my period to become irregular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless of course you get pregnant, but there is otherwise no direct cause and effect relationship between sex and irregular periods. Stress and anxiety however can affect your cycles and cause irregular periods. Since there are many reasons that sexual relationships can cause stress and anxiety, starting with fear of pregnancy, sex could thereby indirectly cause irregular periods.
