Irregular periods are common and aren’t always a sign of a problem, however it is a good idea to see a doctor if you are experiencing irregular periods.
An irregular period is when the length of your menstrual cycle falls outside of your regular range. Irregular periods can include abnormal uterine bleeding, such as:
- Bleeding or spotting between periods
- Bleeding after sexual intercourse
- Heavy bleeding during your period
- Menstrual bleeding that lasts longer than normal
- Bleeding after you’ve reached menopause
During a normal menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one of your ovaries during ovulation. If the egg is not fertilized by sperm, changing hormone levels send your body a signal to shed the blood and tissues that line your uterus. This bleeding typically lasts about five to seven days, thereafter the monthly cycle repeats itself.
The most common cause of irregular menstruation is a hormonal imbalance. Changes in your body’s level of the hormones estrogen and progesterone can disrupt the normal pattern of your period.
Other Causes Include:
- Puberty
- Birth control
