How Can Irregular Periods At Some Times And Persistent Menstruation For Long Durations At Other Times Be Managed?
I am 20 years old and Ever since I was 14 my period has been very irregular. If I do not take my birth control pills every day like I’m supposed to my period will come on and stay on for days until I do. I tried to stop one time but my period was on that entire year and all I did was switch my birth control method to the shot but it never stopped. No doctor can tell me what’s going on they just want to keep putting me on the pill but I know this isnt normal I need answers!

Hi,
Your problem indicates hormonal imbalance which regulated menstrual cycles. A detailed gynecological examination with few investigations to pin point the cause. It can be due to ovarian, thyroid or pituitary problem. Please consult a gynecologist for more specific solution after getting investigated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
