Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
You seem to have hormonal imbalance.
Please consult a gynecologist and have evaluation along the following lines -
1. Pelvic transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the uterus and ovaries.
2. Hormonal profile - FSH, LH, TSH, Serum prolactin, adrenal hormones.
3. Complete blood count, liver and renal profile tests, glucose tolerance test.
Common causes of irregular cycles are - anxiety, stress, emotional turbulence, hectic travelling, recent changes in weight, ingestion of hormonal medications or medications that alter the menstrual cycle etc.
Polycystic ovaries, hypothyroidism and endometrial pathologies also could cause such a picture.
Sometimes, premature ovarian ageing could lead to pseudo menopausal symptoms, such as those you are experiencing.
The above suggested workup would point towards a specific cause for your problems.
Meanwhile, make sure you have an ideal BMI ( exercise regularly and eat healthy ), and that you are stress free.
Take care.
Feel free to discuss further.
