To diagnose the cause of irregular periods, a gynecologist may perform several tests, including:
Medical History and Physical Exam: A thorough medical history and physical examination help in identifying possible causes. Blood Tests: These can check for hormonal imbalances and other health conditions like thyroid disorders. Ultrasound: Imaging tests like ultrasounds can help identify issues such as ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids. Endometrial Biopsy: In some cases, a small sample of the uterine lining may be taken for further examination.
