Question:
Irregular period?

Answer:

I read the answers you put to the questions on the profile and though I don't know for sure what the irregular period is caused by, I know for sure what it is NOT caused by.

There is nothing about masturbation that causes an irregular period. The sexual pleasure system that results in orgasm and pleasure from masturbating does not connect in any way to the menstrual period and the hormones that control it. It is far more likely that your weight is the cause of the irregular period. Menstruation is influenced by the flow of hormones through out the body and if a woman is too underweight or overweight the hormones are not able to penetrate the cells that they need to in order to regulate.

I would suggest that you seek out a doctor who can assist you with giving your more hormone to regulate your period. There are pills that can be taken that will do this.

Thank you for writing and if you have more questions feel free to write again.
