Why is my rule irregular?

It is usually due to nervousness and stress, but if it persists you should consult your doctor

Consult your doctor

Both regularity and intensity are not the same in all women. In fact, few have an exact 28-day cycle and having shorter or longer cycles is not considered an abnormality. Most gynecologists consulted explain that a cycle lasting between 21 and 35 days would fall within the parameters of normality. However, there are times when the flow and regularity of the rule vary and are a reason for gynecological consultation. These episodes are rarely related to an important pathology and are usually related to:

Stress. In the process of menstruation are
two systems that are related: the endocrine and the nervous. This would explain why emotions are so
influential. If you are very nervous, the rule may disappear on time, increase bleeding or be more painful than usual.The drugs. Antidepressants, antihypertensives, and anitulceros, as well as those medications that contain estrogens or progesterone, affect menstrual regularity. By the way, the postcoital pill can also advance or delay the period.Sudden changes in weight. If you gain weight considerably, the male hormones soar, which can make menstruation disappear for a while. And the same thing happens if you lose a lot of weight.

When should I go to the doctor?

If the disorders are prolonged two or three months it is advisable to request a gynecological appointment. It is also considered an abnormality, bleeding that lasts for more than a week, if you soak the pads or tampons every 2 or 3 hours (could be the symptom of the presence of a myoma), if you have a fever or there is an intermenstrual bleeding an infection or a tumor) or the rule is very poor (for uterine or ovarian disorders). The pain may indicate infection or endometriosis.
