Dear Jacqui:
I'm a 24 year old married girl. I've always suffered with irregular periods. When I asked about this I was told it would regulate itself over time but it hasn't. I have no problems in my sex life and my husband uses condoms. My marriage is new old and due to my irregular periods I'm scared of becoming pregnant. Please give me the solution, how can have proper periods?

Dear Annabelle:
Irregular periods can have many causes. Often they are due to hormone deficiencies but they may be due to stress, dietary imbalance -- even too much exercising can cause menstrual irregularities. I suggest you make an appointment with a gynecologist and have your hormone levels checked so the cause of your irregularity is clearly established and can be solved with appropriate medical treatment.

Many women who have suffered from the same problem have been helped. But proper diagnosis is a necessary first step. You may wish to visit a woman gynecologist who understand the problem very well.
