Facts about Irregular Periods

More than 14 % of women worldwide experience irregular periods at some point in life. While irregular periods do indicate bad health and imbalanced hormones, they are not always a matter of grave concern. Especially during-

• Puberty: A woman’s body goes through multiple changes during puberty and the hormones are still adjusting during this time. This is why it is normal for you to experience irregular periods for up to 6 to 24 months at the onset of periods. 

However, irregular periods even after 2 years of puberty indicate hormonal disorders and require detailed investigation and medication. 

• Pregnancy: While pregnancy itself is marked by no periods, you may experience a little spotting during the early stages of conception. However, it should get lighter and disappear with time. Some women also experience periods during the entire pregnancy. 

Though rare, the condition is serious, may cause frequent nausea, severe cramping, anemia, and also endanger the pregnancy.  Immediate and constant follow-up is suggested.

• Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding too, much like other life events is marked by a period of heavy hormonal changes. While some women may not experience periods at all during this time, others may experience irregularities. 

This is absolutely normal and should subside with time. 

• Pre-Menopausal: Because of the natural changes in the body and its hormone levels, irregularities during pre-menopausal time is extremely common and normal. As the body transitions successfully, the periods shall gradually come to a comfortable end. 

Menopause is marked by more than 12 consecutive months of no menses. 

• Post-Menopausal: Experiencing bleeding post-menopause can indicate serious uterine health conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, or uterine cancer. Immediate medical intervention is suggested. 
• Other than these biological life events, irregularities are also common during important social events such as exams, meetings, interviews, weddings, trips, etc. This is major because of excessive stress, anxiety, and increased workload during this time. However, the irregularities should slowly disappear as these events slide. 

*Consult a doctor immediately if you see the irregularity taking a pattern after any of such events. It could indicate a deep-seated anxiety/ hormonal imbalance and demand formal treatment.

• Irregular periods are also a result of heavy pollution and dense air. Transition into a healthier and fresh environment helps inadvertently. 

• Women record irregular periods because of regular intake of emergency contraceptives too. While this usually subsides in a month / two, it is unhealthy, painful, and emotionally disturbing. This is why you are recommended to use emergency contraceptives only in the matter of emergency and not as a medium of regular birth control. 

Else, this dependence could lead to serious health concerns including nausea, intensive cramping, and risk to fertility.
