Irregular periods refer to menstrual cycles that deviate from the typical 21 to 35-day range. This can include missed periods, cycles that come too frequently or infrequently, and variations in flow or duration. While occasional irregularities are common due to stress or lifestyle changes, frequent irregular periods can signal underlying health issues.
Common causes include hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, excessive exercise, extreme weight loss or gain, and certain medications. Adolescents and women approaching menopause often experience irregular cycles due to fluctuating hormone levels.
Symptoms associated with irregular periods may include heavy bleeding, spotting between periods, or missed cycles altogether. If left untreated, chronic irregularities can affect fertility and overall reproductive health.
It’s important to track your cycle and consult a healthcare professional if irregularities persist for more than a few months. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, or addressing underlying conditions.
