Can you help me... two periods one months ?!

A wide variety of factors can be responsible for irregular periods, among them:

Significant weight gain or loss
Over-exercise
Poor nutrition (or a diet too high in carbohydrates)
Smoking
Drug use
Caffeine
Excessive alcohol use (interfering with how the liver metabolizes estrogen and progesterone)
Eating disorders
Increased stress
Polycystic ovarian syndrome/estrogen dominance
Uterine abnormalities (fibroids/cysts/polyps/endometriosis)
Hormonal imbalance related to perimenopause
Medications
Chemotherapy
Recent childbirth, miscarriage, or D&C
Breastfeeding
What does it mean if I miss a period or two!?

The most common type of irregular period we see at the clinic is anovulation, or a cycle in which a woman does not ovulate (i!.e!., does not release an egg)!. This is frequently the cause of a missed period (an anovulatory cycle) and is considered normal if it occurs only once or twice a year!. Clotting is also considered normal if it is cyclic!.

Sporadic episodes of poor diet, high stress, emotional trauma, illness, or strenuous physical exercise are the usual suspects behind occasional anovulatory cycles!. Sometimes something as simple as a family holiday or a week with the in-laws will play havoc with a menstrual cycle!. Monthly periods are quite susceptible to dips and spikes in our emotions and our health!. For the most part, once our lives return to normal, so do our periods!.

On the other hand, a woman will sometimes skip her period for a few months and then start a heavy period that lasts for days or even weeks!. This can be a sign that a woman is entering perimenopause (see above)!.

More and more we are seeing patients of all ages who come into the clinic with irregular periods due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), an easily recognizable and treatable condition that frequently occurs with insulin resistance!. With PCOS, the ovaries produce a quantity of follicles that generate high levels of estrogen but never release an egg!. The excessive estrogen stimulates the uterine lining to thicken to a point where it must slough off!. Women with this condition are not having what are considered
