Having IRREGULAR and LATE PERIODS. Can I have SEX?

Resolved question:
Hello. I am a 30 year old woman and I have irregular periods. I got my last period on March 19th after 60 days of being late. And today, April 17th I got my period although on my period tracker app it says there are 16 days left. If it is worth mentioning, I had sex two days ago after 4 months of no sexual intercourse whatsoever. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
Will you let me know a few more details please ?
Have you always had irregular cycles, if yes, please describe them in slightly more detail.
Or did you have regular periods prior to March ?
Also, what is your height and weight ?
Are you on any kind of hormonal medications ?
Have you ever had post coital bleeding ( bleeding after sex ) earlier ?
Please write back with these details.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
Regards.

Hello again, Thank you for the update.
So you have always had irregular cycles. Then you should not be concerned. Sometimes, women with irregular cycles may have a period that is earlier than usual too.
You should be having an evaluation for irregular periods, though, if that is not done.
It should include -
Internal exam by an OB - GYN
Pap Smear.
Pelvic ultrasound scan.
Hormonal levels - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin.
That will reveal any possible causes - polycystic ovaries, fibroid, endometriosis , polyps etc.
Hope this helps, would be glad to answer any follow-ups.
Take care.
