Hi,
Yes, psychological factors like stress and strain, change in pattern of sleep, diet, exercise, etc. can lead to menstrual irregularity by affecting the reproductive
hormonal balance in the body. If the irregularity persists, better to get evaluated. Clinical examination and investigations like
ultrasound, blood
hemoglobin levels, sugar levels, thyroid profile and serum
prolactin levels can help in finding the possible cause of the irregularity in menstrual cycles.
According to that treatment can be planned. General measures like regular calorie burning exercise, balanced healthy diet, regular and adequate sleep of at least 7 to 8 hours per day and maintaining a normal
body mass index can help in regularizing the menstrual cycles.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
