What Could Lead To Skipping My Period Every Other Month Despite Having Regular Periods Previously?
Question: I seem to skip my period every other month. I used to be quite regular and exactly every 28 days. But starting in july of 2017 it started to change. Could there be a logical reason.
Brief Answer:
Can be a mild hormonal disturbance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The reasons of delayed periods or skipping the periods may be hormonal imbalance, emotional upset, anxiety, stress, or other medical conditions that affect the ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland. Hypothyroidism, post pill amenorrhea , polycystic ovarian syndrome or less frequently a pituitary tumor causing high prolactin levels or a hypothalamic disease are other causes that may be the cause here.
Please visit your gynecologist to undergo physical check up and also to undergo relevant investigations required in your case to find out the cause so that treatment can be given accordingly.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
