    GlossaryMenstrual Irregularities (Oligo-ovulation)

    deviations from the normal menstrual cycle pattern

    Menstrual Irregularities refer to any deviations from the normal menstrual cycle, which typically lasts 28 days but can range from 21 to 35 days in adults. These irregularities can include variations in cycle length, missed periods, unusually heavy or light bleeding, and spotting between periods. They can be caused by a variety of factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, significant weight changes, and underlying medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.
