This is unfortuntely oneof the posts that is impossible to answer. The causes are so varied and a thorough exam and extensive blood tests may need to be done to make the diagnosis. It goes from anemia to thyroid irregularities to depression and psychological effects of the borderline ovarian tumor.

FWIW, the chance of the ovarian tumor causing this problem is about zero.

Good luck and try to have a good weekend.
