Understand Your Cycle

What Are Irregular Periods?

Irregular periods refer to changes in the usual pattern of menstruation, including differences in cycle length, bleeding duration, flow or the timing of periods. Cycle patterns can vary with age, hormonal changes, stress, weight changes and certain medical conditions.

Irregular periods treatment in Chennai involves evaluating your menstrual history and other symptoms to understand whether the changes are temporary or may be associated with a condition that requires treatment.

A gynaecologist can help determine whether further assessment is appropriate and explain the options based on your health history and individual circumstances.

Common Signs of Irregular Menstruation

  • Periods that arrive earlier or later than expected
  • Missed periods or gaps between menstrual cycles
  • Cycles that frequently vary in length
  • Bleeding that lasts longer or shorter than usual
  • Changes in menstrual flow or unexpected spotting
  • Irregular periods accompanied by acne or increased facial hair
  • Changes in periods associated with weight or hormonal symptoms

Find the Possible Cause

Common Causes of Irregular Periods

There are several reasons for changes in menstrual cycles. Identifying the possible cause helps guide the evaluation and treatment plan.

01

PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome can affect ovulation and may be associated with irregular periods, acne or increased facial hair.

02

Thyroid Conditions

An underactive or overactive thyroid can affect menstrual patterns in some women. Assessment depends on symptoms and medical history.

03

Stress and Lifestyle Changes

Significant stress, changes in sleep, intensive exercise or substantial weight changes can influence ovulation and cycles.

04

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal changes during adolescence, perimenopause or other life stages may affect the regularity of menstruation.

05

Changes in Ovulation

When ovulation does not occur regularly, menstrual bleeding may become unpredictable or periods may be missed.

06

Other Medical Factors

Medicines, certain reproductive health conditions and other medical factors may also contribute to changes in the menstrual cycle.

When to Seek an Assessment

When Should You Consult a Gynaecologist?

Consider a gynaecological consultation when your cycle changes repeatedly, your periods stop unexpectedly, bleeding becomes unusually heavy or irregular menstruation affects your daily life.

A clinician can also assess irregular periods associated with pelvic pain, unusual discharge, significant acne, changes in facial hair or symptoms that may suggest a hormonal condition.

If pregnancy is possible and a period is missed, a pregnancy test may be appropriate. The next steps depend on the result and your symptoms.

Information to Share During Your Visit

  • The first day of your last menstrual period
  • Typical cycle length and how much it varies
  • How long bleeding lasts and whether flow has changed
  • Any pelvic pain, acne, fatigue or other symptoms
  • Recent weight changes, stress or medication changes
  • Previous scan reports and blood tests, if available
