Answers:
I have and am still going through the same thing. I am 24 now, and have been irregular since I've started. Just recently, I went to a naturopath. She tested every sigle functioning system in my body. She said there are several different reasons as to why woman can be irregular and miss periods. Some factors may be: stress, hypo or hyperthyroidism, not producing enough estrogen or too much testosterone, being under or overweight, ovarian cysts or ovaries that are not functioning correctly, etc. A lot of times athletes are irregular too.
Anyways, I have been on a homeopathic remedy for a few months now and am becoming more regular. I know a lot of people don't know a whole lot about Natuopaths, but the remedies they give you are all natural and will work better and are so much healthier for a person than being prescribed drugs.
She should go to the gynecologist. I had abnormal periods and was put on birth control to regulate them.
I'd go see a dr. if I were her!
Is she on b.c?
If not she should get put on to regulate!
If she is on the pill this could be normal,
but i'd see the doc anyways!
