hi, Thanks for approaching health care magic.
First of all don't be in a panic. Irregular and decreased menstrual flow can occur because of stress commonly. It can also occur because of sudden change in the daily routine like a night shift job, joining in hostel or a change in food habits. It is not clear in the query irregular in the sense... if it occurs monthly or for how many days. So if there is any change in the weight accompanying change in menstrual pattern has to be observed. Please do try with healthy diet and exercise. Most of the cases respond to it. If it does not respond then thyroid profile and ultrasound has to be undergone to rule out thyroid abnormalities and cysts in ovaries respectively. These are the common causes of irregular menstruation and do respond to treatment. So there is nothing to get panicked. Kindly get back for further queries.
