Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Most common cause for irregular periods is hormonal imbalance.
But if you are sexually active then we should definitely rule out pregnancy first. So get done urinary pregnancy test.
If this is negative then no need to worry for pregnancy.
Consult gynecologist and get done hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance.
You may need hormone pills to regulate hormones.
Once your hormones are normalize, you will get normal menstrual cycle.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
