Understanding the concern

Irregular Periods may present differently from person to person. Symptoms, age, menstrual pattern, pregnancy plans and previous treatment all influence the evaluation.

Evaluation

A consultation may include symptom history, examination and selected blood tests or imaging. The aim is to identify likely causes while avoiding unnecessary tests.

Treatment choices

Options can include observation, lifestyle measures, medicines, physiotherapy or procedures. The best choice depends on symptom impact, clinical findings and personal goals.

When to seek urgent careSevere pain, heavy bleeding, fainting, breathlessness, chest pain, seizures, confusion, high fever or rapidly worsening symptoms require urgent medical assessment.
