Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern

1. Treatment of irregular periods varies according to age [from lifestyle changes to hormonal therapy] thus following is the approach:

i. P.V. examination and ultrasound to rule out abnormalities of uterus.
ii. Hb%, WBC, bleeding disorder profile, serum thyroid profile.
iii. Consult with a gynecologist since suffering from hormone imbalance because if general measures fail then she might ask for endometrial curettage & biopsy but if bleeding persists after curettage hysterectomy [removal of uterus] is advised.

2. Irregular periods means that you are ovulating Irregularly but not conceiving and due to this STRESS there is further delay in ovulation so best thing is to remain calm/relax as far as possible and see a gynecologist and try to determine the reason for her irregular periods.

3. It will take time and patience but is not impossible, one has to be proactive

PS. do check with other pathologies like PCOD,being over weight, high prolactin level, pelvic infection, irregular diet, thyroid disturbance etc which can also cause irregular period.
