Cause of Frequent Periods
One cause of frequent periods is a condition called hypothyroidism. With this condition, the thyroid gland is underactive and sometimes results in serious conditions. One of these conditions includes frequent, heavy periods as little as two weeks apart. There are many things that can cause frequent periods, so if you are experiencing this you should see a doctor or gynecologist immediately.
