Can Periods Be Irregular Due To Stress, Cold Or Reduced Physical Activity?
Hi I am 21 and until now I ve had kind of regular period, at least since last 2 years I ve been having pretty regular periods. But this time, I had my period as usual and then 6 days later that is day before yesterday, I am on a period again and I am a virgin! There have been slight irregularities this year like having it 4-5 days late or before and that too that happened just twice, but this is completely new! Could this be because of stress or anxiety? Could this be because of common cold which I have right now? Could this be because of very less physical activity I ve had this year since I ve taken drop from college and was at home sitting in front of my laptop majority of the time. Is it something very serious?For how long is this bleeding going to continue?

Hello there,
Irregular periods can be due to various causes and deficiencies.
ARE you anemic? Is your diet proper?
If no, consider taking iron supplements after deworming and iron deficiency is common in this age group
Exercise regularly.
Have a proper and well balanced diet.
Above all, be stress as it influences your hormones.
Look if your periods are getting regularised, if not, don't hesitate to visit a nearby Gynecologist
