Irregular menstruation and spotting
Im having spotting without ovulation for almost 3 months. I've heard that this is one of PCOS' symptoms. I suspect that I may have PCOS but in the other hand, I dont have the other symptoms like hair growth in the face, chest, buttoks etc. I also don't experience hair loss and acne / oily skin. But I've gained weight from 58kgs to 63kgs in 5 months(not sure) I don't exercise and doesn't do any big activities each day. I always sleep at 4am and woke up 1pm everyday. I eat unhealthy and processed foods. In my case, I would like to ask if I do have PCOS and what causes my irregular menstruation and spotting? Thank you. I'm hopinh to get answers immediately.

Hi.... In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, mentrual irregularities occurs..
Periods can be delayed for a single cycle or it can be delayed in every cycle. If the delay is in only a single cycle, the most likely cause is a temporary cause like stress. If the periods are delayed but regular in every cycle, then the chances are that the woman has a naturally long menstrual cycle and that this delay in her periods is normal for her
