General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Menstrual irregularities are common in young and adolescent girls. Before stamping it to a normal scenario, we have to rule out the other pathological causes.

Usually stressful life, improper food, and sleep, infections can cause irregular periods. Other pathological causes of Dysmenorrhea are Endometriosis and Uterine fibroids.

To rule out these causes, consult a gynecologist and get properly examined by her. Besides that, if you are taking any birth control pills, then it also can cause menstrual irregularity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
