Irregular Period Treatment

Understanding Irregular Periods

Menstrual periods generally last four to seven days and occur roughly every 28 days, but normal menstrual cycles can range from 21 days to 35 days. However, if there are any abnormal changes in the timing, duration, or flow of a menstrual cycle, this situation is known as irregular periods.

Examples of irregular menstruation include:

• Cycles under 21 or over 35 days.
• Absence of periods for three or more months (amenorrhoea).
• Heavier flow (menorrhagia)
• Lighter flow than usual.
• Bleeding between periods or after coitus.
• Feeling extreme, unusual cramping.

Many things cause irregular periods (or irregular menstruation), such as changes in hormone levels, stress, certain health conditions, medications, and other factors. Hence, timely consultation with the best gynaecologist is crucial to get the right treatment and care.

Advanced Diagnosis for Irregular Menstrual Cycles

At Cocoon Hospital, diagnosis of irregular menstrual cycles is done through comprehensive methods. Our experts will ask you about your menstrual cycle and medical history. They’ll perform a physical examination, including a pelvic exam. They might also order the following tests for an accurate identification of the underlying cause:

• A pelvic ultrasound to detect causes such as uterine fibroids, polyps, or an ovarian cyst.
• Endometrial biopsy to diagnose endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, or precancerous cells.
• Hysteroscopy allows the expert to look inside your uterus to diagnose and treat certain causes of abnormal bleeding.

Treatment Options for Irregular Periods at Cocoon Hospital

Abnormal menstruation cannot always be "cured" permanently; however, with early diagnosis and personalised treatment, symptoms and long-term health outcomes can be improved.

The irregularity in the menstrual cycle can be due to hormonal fluctuations, often triggered by stress, significant weight changes (loss or gain), excessive exercise, or underlying conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and perimenopause. Hence, our treatment is based on considering these underlying factors.

Hormonal Therapy

Doctors can prescribe birth control pills, patches, or vaginal rings to help achieve consistent, predictable periods.

Progestin Therapy

Supports regular bleeding and stabilises the uterine lining.

Medication for Underlying Conditions

• Metformin for PCOS to manage insulin resistance and ovulation.
• Medicine to address thyroid hormone imbalances.
• Tranexamic acid to reduce heavy bleeding.
• NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) to ease cramps.
• Iron supplements for anaemia.

Lifestyle Modifications

A balanced diet, exercise, and stress reduction through meditation support the outcome of the treatment and help balance hormones naturally.

Surgical Options (Rare)

Doctors can consider hysteroscopy, uterine artery embolisation, and endometrial ablation for structural issues such as uterine fibroids, polyps, or endometriosis. These are reserved for scenarios of structural issues unresponsive to medicines.
