Menstrual irregularity is a condition where the frequency of menstruation differs from the 21-35 day period or where periods are heavy. Menstrual irregularity can occur due to hormonal or anatomical causes, such as intrauterine pathologies. Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most significant hormonal causes.
Periods can sometimes occur at long intervals or even not occur at all without medication. Additionally, thyroid and milk hormone (prolactin) disorders can also cause irregularities in menstruation. Problems such as intrauterine polyps, myomas, or hyperplasia can also lead to disruptions in the menstrual cycle.
How is Menstrual Irregularity Treated?
First of all, it is possible to identify the problem through a careful gynecological examination, ultrasonography, hormone tests, and, if necessary, hysteroscopy, and then solve the problem and treat menstrual irregularity with appropriate medications.
