Patient's question:
I have been with my girlfriend for two years, and we started living together last month. During this time, there were two instances where we were too excited and didn't use protection, so we had to give her birth control pills. I'm not entirely sure about the side effects of birth control pills, and I don't know if this is the reason for her irregular menstruation. What are the common causes of irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Women who have problems with menstrual irregularities and menstrual function may be considered to have endocrine dysfunction syndrome, which is also known as luteal phase defect. The likelihood of diseases caused by the ovaries is high. Therefore, the possible causes include the following: first, issues with ovarian function; second, overtime and psychological factors; third, certain medications, such as the previously mentioned birth control pills.
