The normal duration of a menstrual cycle serves as a reproductive health indicator, ranging between 21 and 35 days. The menstrual cycle of numerous women exhibits abnormal patterns because their periods either become extremely long or short or appear at irregular intervals. Mannat Fertility Centre provides specialised care for diagnosing irregular periods while treating underlying hormonal imbalance to enhance fertility outcomes.

Symptoms of Abnormal Menstrual Cycles

The signs of abnormal periods appear in various forms, such as 

  • Frequent or infrequent periods – Cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia) – Heavy menstrual bleeding, known as Menorrhagia, results in excessive blood loss, which leads to anaemia development.
  • Missed periods (Amenorrhea) – The medical term for not having menstruation for more than three months is known as Amenorrhea.
  • Spotting between periods – Menstrual irregularities become apparent through bleeding/spotting which occurs between regular menstruation.
  • Painful periods (Dysmenorrhea) – Dysmenorrhea causes severe pain which appears during every menstrual cycle.
  • Unpredictable cycles –  The occurrence of periods at irregular times qualifies as unpredictable cycles.

You must consult with a doctor about your symptoms since irregular menstruation could signal health problems beneath the surface.
