Hello! Today we will discuss the important issue of menstrual cycle irregularities. It is one of the most common reasons women visit a doctor. However, not all cycle irregularities are pathological, and often women misinterpret changes in their cycles.
For example, a woman comes to the doctor complaining of a one-day delay in menstruation. This could be due to menstruation not occurring on the exact day expected. Another example: a woman complains of having menstruation twice in one month. Let's examine when these situations are normal and when they are pathological.
The menstrual cycle can range from 24 to 38 days. If your cycle is 24 days and the month has 30 days, it's perfectly natural for menstruation to occur twice in one month. This is not a pathology, just a characteristic of your cycle.
If your period doesn't arrive on the exact expected day, fluctuations throughout the year are normal, with deviations of up to 7 days. If the delay is no more than a week, it's also not pathological.
If you track your menstrual cycle, you can monitor its regularity. To do this, take your longest and shortest cycles and calculate the difference. If the difference is less than 8 days, your cycle is considered normal, and there is no indication of pathology.
However, if the delay exceeds a week, or if you experience unusual discharge (heavy, with clots), or pain, you should consult a doctor. The causes of menstrual cycle irregularities can vary, and it is difficult to pinpoint them without professional advice.
Irregularities can be caused by:
If you have started exercising intensively, experiencing stress, or rapidly losing weight, these could be factors that impact your cycle. These are the primary causes of cycle irregularities.
If the irregularity is due to physical exertion or stress, normalizing your weight and reducing physical strain should be sufficient. In some cases, you can restore your menstrual cycle without medication. The key is to bring your weight and lifestyle back to normal.
However, if you experience more serious changes such as irregular discharge or severe pain, you must consult a doctor. The doctor will investigate your symptoms, ask you health-related questions, and recommend appropriate treatment.
So, menstrual cycle irregularities are not always pathological, but they are always worth paying attention to. If you notice changes in your cycle, it's important to figure out the cause and consult a doctor if necessary. Keeping track of your menstrual cycle helps you monitor changes and take timely action. Wishing you good health!
