Irregular Periods

Understanding Irregular Periods

Irregular periods are one of the most common reproductive health issues in women and can be an indicator of hormonal imbalance, stress, or underlying medical conditions such as PCOS or thyroid problems. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, we help women identify the cause of irregular menstruation and provide effective treatment to restore hormonal balance and improve fertility.

What Are Irregular Periods?

Normally, a woman’s menstrual cycle ranges from 21 to 35 days. When the interval between periods keeps changing, the flow is unusually heavy or light, or the period lasts longer or shorter than usual, it is considered irregular menstruation. Occasional irregularity is normal, but frequent irregular periods may signal an underlying problem that needs medical attention.
