What causes irregular periods, and how can they be managed effectively? - #14772
I’ve been noticing that my periods are not as regular as they used to be, and I’m wondering if there is a common cause for irregular periods. I know stress, diet, and exercise can influence the menstrual cycle, but what exactly causes irregularity in the first place? What are the most common causes of irregular periods, and how does hormonal imbalance affect menstrual cycles? I read that conditions like PCOS, thyroid problems, or obesity can lead to irregular cycles—how do these conditions interfere with ovulation and the menstrual process? I also want to know how irregular periods can be managed. Are there treatments like hormonal birth control, lifestyle changes, or natural remedies that can help restore regularity? How do you determine when irregular periods need medical intervention, and what tests or procedures are used for diagnosis? If anyone has had experience with irregular periods, what was the cause, and how did you manage it? Did treatment help restore regularity, or did lifestyle changes work best?
