Parenting & Pregnancy Menstrual Cycle Irregular Period
Irregular Period |

Dear Ask The Doctor: I have had 3 periods in less than 30 days. what could be the reason? Dear Sk: Too many periods in a short interval of time might be commonly caused by hormonal imbalances, and factors that can cause this imbalance such as diet, weight loss, and more severe conditions such as endometriosis. Polymenorrhea is used to describe a condition when women have periods at much shorter intervals, usually less than 21 days apart. It can be a frustrating thing to endure, and periods may not be regular or predictable either. It also may affect fertility or attempts to get pregnant because ovulation may occur sooner than expected, possibly even when a period is ongoing. However before making any diagnosis, we should distinguish spotting or metrorrhagia which is an inter menstrual bleeding. I would suggest you to consult a gynecologist for a more detailed evaluation to rule out the exact diagnosis and treatment. |
