Irregular Periods
One can be said to have irregular periods if their menstrual cycle lasts less than 24 days, more than 38 days, or fluctuates significantly from month to month. This is referred to as oligomenorrhea by medical practitioners.
When the duration of a menstrual cycle unexpectedly goes outside of the normal range, one may have an irregular period. Among the symptoms of irregular periods is abnormal uterine bleeding, such as:
- Bleeding or spotting between periods
- Bleeding after sexual intercourse
- Heavy bleeding during period
- Menstrual bleeding that lasts longer than 5-7 days
- Bleeding after one has reached menopause
One should also visit a doctor if in case any of the following symptoms are observed about their menstrual cycle:
- Absence of period for 90 days
- Menstruation suddenly becomes irregular
- A menstrual cycle shorter than 21 days
- A menstrual cycle longer than 35 days
- Period lasts for more than a week
- Bleeding becomes unusually heavy
- Extremely painful periods
Many females have a regular menstrual cycle after adolescence. The cycle, however, is expected to vary by a few days each time. A regular menstrual cycle can have particular characteristics for different individuals and as such, out of the ordinary characteristics must be checked for.
