period problems?

Question

My friend got her 1rst period on August. she had it for 5 days but her next period in september lasted 3 weeks. she didn't have it for one week but then it returned and it stoped until the week of thanxgiving. She got 2 weeks after and still has it today. She went to the doctor and he told her that it was because of stress. Is there a problem with her or is the doctor right. I also told her she should got to a gynecologists(i don't know if it is spelled like that)

Answer 1

Since she just started in August, it will take some time for her cycle and periods to become regular. This may take a year, or more. Stress usually delays, or prevents periods.
