There are a lot of factors that can cause irregular menstrual cycle. One the presence of PCOS or polycystic ovaries can alter the usual release of eggcell. Second hormonal imbalance and use of pills hormones govern the menstrual cycle thus changes to the usual hormonal patterns can warrant alterations in the regular cycle. Next is nutritional deficits. The body protects itself form disequilibrium, that being said a decrease in essential minerals and vitamins or nutririon can trigger prolongation or even skipping of menstrual cycle.

But, a little bit confused. I already had my check-up yesterday and my doctor said, I have PCOS so she prescribed me pills and metformin. Just want to clarify, If I am taking those medicines, Is it okay to have a sexual interact with my partner? Thank you!
