What Causes Irregular Menstruation And Excessive Weight Gain?
My daughter is 14 and almost 15. She started her period at age 12, but she s only having 2 or 3 a year. She has gained a lot of weight in the last year. I took her to a family physician and had blood work done which they said was normal. Should I take her to another dr?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query about causes of irregular menstruation and weight gain can be due to reasons like hormonal imbalance and presence of cyst in ovary called PCOD. I advise you to consult a gynecologist and get investigation. Ultrasonography and blood investigation are required for the necessary treatment.
I hope the information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
