🩺 Introduction
Many women experience irregular menstrual cycles at some point in life. While a delay of a few days is common, frequent irregularity can indicate hormonal imbalance or underlying conditions like PCOD or thyroid disorders.
Here’s a quick guide by Dr Mamta Agrawal, Senior Gynecologist at Agrawal Clinic, New Ashok Nagar, Delhi.
🩷 What Is Considered an Irregular Period?
A normal menstrual cycle lasts between 24–35 days.
If your periods come too early, too late, or skip entirely, it’s considered irregular.
Common symptoms:
- Missed or delayed periods
- Very light or very heavy bleeding
- Periods lasting longer than 7 days
- Severe cramps or clots
⚖️ Common Causes
- PCOD/PCOS – Hormonal imbalance causing missed or delayed periods.
- Thyroid problems – Both hyper and hypothyroidism affect menstrual cycles.
- Stress or Weight Changes – Rapid weight loss or gain disrupts hormones.
- Uterine Fibroids or Endometriosis – May cause painful or heavy bleeding.
- Perimenopause – Cycle changes are common in late 30s–40s.
💊 Treatment & Management
Treatment depends on the cause and may include:
- Hormonal evaluation and blood tests
- Lifestyle modification and weight control
- Medication to regulate ovulation
- Treating thyroid or insulin resistance
- Surgical correction in rare cases (fibroids, cysts)
💬 Dr Mamta’s Tip
Keep a menstrual diary or use a tracking app.
Regular checkups every 6 months help detect early changes and prevent complications.
