Most women and people Assigned Female at Birth (AFAB) have pregnancies that last four to seven days. Your period usually comes every 28 days, but a normal menstrual period is between 21 and 35 days. In fact, the average cycle length is 29 days. Changes in hormones, stress, some diseases, medications, and many things can cause irregular periods (or irregular periods).
Irregular periods can have many causes, from stress to more severe pain, such as:
Stress
Increase and Decrease in Weight
Excessive Exercise
Getting Sick
Birth Control Pills
Medications
Pregnancy Complications
Surgery and Blockages
This is when some tissue that’s supposed to stay in your uterus decides to wander off and hang out in other places like your ovaries or fallopian tubes. It can make your periods a real pain with extra bleeding and cramps.
This one’s like a sneak attack by bacteria. It usually happens when you don’t treat a sexually transmitted infection. Those bacteria effects your reproductive system, leading to smelling discharge, irregular periods, and pelvic pain.
Your ovaries go a bit overboard and start making too much of a hormone called androgen. This hormone messes with your ovulation, making your periods show up whenever they feel like it—or sometimes not at all.
This is when your ovaries aren’t doing their job properly, and it can happen if you’re under 40. Sometimes it’s due to cancer treatment or certain autoimmune issues. The result? Missed or totally random periods.
Your hormones get thrown because of thyroid problems, either too slow (hypothyroidism) or too fast (hyperthyroidism), or issues with your pituitary gland. This can make your periods become irregular.
If you’ve got a blood clotting or bleeding problem, your periods might turn into a heavy-duty affair with lots of bleeding.
Certain cancers can mess with your menstrual routine. Your periods might become super heavy or disappear altogether. Definitely something to get checked out if it’s happening.
A regular schedule is usually not important. However, regular or long-term use may increase the risk of other diseases, such as
| Iron deficiency anemia | Blood contains iron and if menstruation is heavy or frequent, the person will lose enough blood to create iron deficiency. |
| Infertility | Lack of ovulation can lead to infertility, which causes the body to not release eggs. This may mean that a person is having trouble conceiving. |
| Osteoporosis | Ovulation is one of the oestrogens that help strengthen bones. If a person is not ovulating regularly, they are at risk of osteoporosis due to low estrogen levels. |
| Cardiovascular disease | Similarly, estrogen deficiency may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. |
| Endometrial hyperplasia | If a person has a prolonged menstrual period without treatment, this may increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia, in which the lining of the uterus becomes abnormal. This increases the risk of endometrial cancer. |
