Irregularities in menstruation may be due to several factors. One of them is stress or emotional stages of great intensity. This would cause an alteration at the hormonal level, causing changes in the menstrual cycle.

Other possible causes of irregular menstruation are diet, intense physical activity, drugs and thyroid gland problems. In addition, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or the presence of uterine cysts and polyps could also be the cause of abnormal menstruation.
