Understanding Irregular Periods
With Dr. Amulya Gumpalli · Keyan Clinics
Irregular periods are common but can sometimes signal an underlying condition. Here is a guide to understanding the causes and when to seek care.
What Counts as Irregular?
Cycles that vary significantly in length, are unusually heavy or light, or are frequently missed may be considered irregular.
Common Causes
Stress, significant weight changes, thyroid disorders, and hormonal conditions like PCOS are frequent causes of irregular cycles.
Diagnostic Approach
A gynecologist may recommend blood tests for hormone levels and a pelvic ultrasound to identify the underlying cause.
Treatment Options
Depending on the cause, treatment may involve lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, or addressing an underlying condition directly.
