Menstrual Problems
Abnormalities in the menstrual cycle of a woman are called menstrual irregularities. Hormones play an important role in regulating growth and other bodily functions. At the onset of puberty, a mixture of female and male sex hormones is produced for sexual maturity. If there is an imbalance in the hormones that control the production of male and female sex hormones, it can lead to excess levels of the male hormone or androgens and this can lead to hirsutism (excess hair), severe acne, problems with menstruation or infertility.
