Why do menstrual irregularities happen?
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
Because of this syndrome, eggs are not regularly released from ovaries.
Thyroid
Increase or decrease in the production of the thyroid hormone also contributes to menstrual irregularities.
Stress
Glands in the brain control the menstrual cycle. So, if you are stressed or pressured, the menstrual cycle also may change.
Breastfeeding
If you are a breastfeeding mother, the production of hormones in your womb is limited. So breastfeeding mothers tend to suffer more from this condition.
Endometriosis
This happens when tissues develop outside the womb which leads to menstrual irregularities.
