The menstrual cycles of most women range for four to seven days. Your period usually occurs every 28 days, but normal menstrual cycles can range from 21 days to 35 days. In fact, the average cycle length is 29 days.

A lot of factors contribute to irregular periods (or irregular menstruation) like hormone level changes, stress, some health conditions, medications, and others.

Irregular periods are caused by a variety of factors:

• Hormonal Changes due to Lifestyle: Sleep pattern changes, stress, or work shifts can disrupt hormonal balance

• Weight Gain/Obesity: Affects metabolism and hormone release, causing ovulation issues

• Thyroid Conditions: Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism impact cycle regularity

• Endometriosis & PCOD/PCOS: Hormonal disorders affecting ovulation

• Contraceptive Changes: Starting/stopping birth control can cause temporary irregularities

Treatment approaches include:

• Fertility Specialist Consultation: For hormone testing and personalized care

• Lifestyle Modifications: Balanced diet, exercise, stress management through yoga/meditation

• Medical Management: Thyroid medication, ovulation-stimulating drugs, or birth control
