Irregular Menstruation

Regular cycles typically run 21–35 days with 2–7 days of bleeding. Irregular menstruation means cycles that vary in timing, flow, or duration, and may be linked to lifestyle, hormonal, or medical factors.

What a Regular Cycle Looks Like

  • Cycle length: Usually 21–35 days (average ~28 days).
  • Bleeding duration: Typically 2–7 days.
  • Flow amount: About 20–90 ml per period.
  • Predictability: Generally follows a steady pattern over months.

What Counts as Irregular

  • Cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.
  • Month-to-month variation greater than 7–9 days.
  • Missed periods, unusually heavy/light flow, or spotting between periods.

Common Causes

  • Hormonal imbalances (thyroid issues, PCOS).
  • Stress and anxiety.
  • Significant weight loss/gain or excessive exercise.
  • Poor diet or eating disorders.
  • Chronic illnesses.
  • Travel or sudden lifestyle changes.
  • Overconsumption of alcohol or caffeine.

Do’s

  • Eat a balanced diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats).
  • Include magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin D, zinc, and omega-3s.
  • Superfoods to consider: leafy greens, berries, nuts, seeds, fatty fish, crucifers, flaxseed, turmeric, fermented foods.
  • Maintain a healthy weight with regular, moderate exercise.
  • Manage stress (yoga, meditation, deep breathing).
  • Stay hydrated with water and herbal teas (e.g., chamomile).
  • If heavy periods: add iron-rich foods (leafy greens, beans, fish, poultry).

Don’ts

  • Avoid crash diets or very low-carb diets.
  • Don’t overdo fiber—aim for ~25–30 g/day.
  • Limit saturated fats, excess salt, and caffeine.
  • Avoid processed and junk foods.
  • Don’t skip meals or eat erratically.
