Stress and Lifestyle Factors
• High levels of stress can interfere with the body's hormonal balance.
• Rapid weight gain or loss, poor diet, and lack of exercise can lead to irregular periods.
Medical Conditions Affecting Menstruation
• Uterine fibroids or polyps may cause heavy or prolonged bleeding.
