Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is associated with emotional abnormalities, irregular daily routines, excessive dieting, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, occupational factors, etc. Among these, emotional factors are a very important aspect. This is because during menstruation, the ovaries secrete hormones that stimulate the endometrium to thicken. The secretion of these hormones is influenced by the hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus can affect menstruation. First, it is necessary to regulate the menstrual cycle before considering future fertility.
