Frequent styes are more common when thr is refractive errors as well as if thr is lid infections of low grade.. even diabetes do cause recurrent stye..
But with due consideration to ur age even harmonal variations can also cause recurrence ..
Try hot formentation and antibiotic ointment like ocupol twice a day along with proper lid hygiene.
Get ur blood sugars checked and vision..
Do have check on ur monthly cycles to c any correlation.

Frequent styes could be due to an uncorrected refractive error. Make sure you have the correct glass prescription. Dandruff is another common cause for it in the absence of any other systemic disease. Get your sugars checked once too.
