Symptoms of irregular periods

Irregular periods can vary in pattern, frequency, and severity. Symptoms may include:

  • Periods occurring less than every 21 days or more than every 35 days
  • Missed or skipped periods (not due to pregnancy)
  • Heavy or prolonged bleeding (menorrhagia)
  • Spotting or bleeding between periods
  • Severe menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)
  • Inconsistent cycle length or unpredictable flow
  • Acne, hair thinning, or excessive facial/body hair due to hormonal imbalance

When to see a doctor for irregular periods

Consult a provider if you experience:

  • Missed periods for 3+ months (and not pregnant)
  • Periods that last longer than 7 days
  • Bleeding that soaks through pads or tampons hourly
  • Severe pelvic pain or cramping
  • Sudden weight changes or abnormal hair growth
  • Suspected hormone or thyroid-related symptoms

How are irregular periods diagnosed?

To determine the cause of irregular menstruation, your provider may recommend:

  • Medical and menstrual history review
  • Physical and pelvic examination
  • Blood work to evaluate hormone levels (e.g., follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, prolactin, thyroid panel)
  • Urine or serum pregnancy test
  • Pelvic ultrasound to assess the ovaries and the uterine lining
  • Further evaluation for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or thyroid dysfunction if indicated

Your provider can discuss and personalize all treatments for you after diagnosis.

Irregular periods treatment options

Treatment is based on the underlying cause, ranging from hormone imbalance to lifestyle factors, stress, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or perimenopause. Providers on Klarity Health may recommend:

  • Hormonal birth control: Combination or progestin-only pills help regulate cycle timing, reduce bleeding, and relieve cramps. Extended-cycle pills may minimize menstruation frequency.
  • Lifestyle changes: Addressing stress, adopting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and improving nutrition can help restore hormonal balance.
  • Medications for underlying conditions:
    • PCOS: Metformin, though U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for type 2 diabetes, is commonly used off-label to improve insulin sensitivity and support ovulation in women with PCOS.
    • Ovulation disorders: Letrozole, while FDA-approved for certain breast cancers, is used off-label for ovulation induction in women seeking conception.
    • Thyroid conditions: Levothyroxine restores thyroid hormone levels and cycle regularity
  • Hormone therapy: For those in perimenopause or with estrogen deficiencies, low-dose estrogen or progesterone may be recommended to control bleeding and other symptoms.
  • Non-hormonal options: NSAIDs for pain relief, ranexamic acid (Lysteda) for cyclic heavy menstrual bleeding, or iron supplements if anemia is present.
  • Nutritional support: While not FDA-approved for treating menstrual disorders, supplements like vitamin D, calcium, and folate may be recommended to address nutritional deficiencies that can impact hormonal balance.

Your provider can discuss and personalize all treatments for you after diagnosis.

Commonly irregular periods medications

Medication may be used to regulate cycles, treat hormonal conditions, or address underlying causes. Providers on Klarity Health only prescribe what’s appropriate based on your diagnosis.

Hormonal birth control (for menstrual regulation):

  • Norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol (Sprintec, Ortho Tri-Cyclen) – FDA-approved for pregnancy prevention and acne and often used off-label to regulate cycles
  • Drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol (Yaz, Gianvi) – Approved for contraception and PMDD

Progestin-only pills:

  • Norethindrone (Camila, Errin) is FDA-approved for contraception and may be prescribed off-label to help regulate menstrual cycles in individuals who can’t take estrogen.

Hormone therapy (for low estrogen or perimenopause):

  • Estradiol (Climara, Vivelle-Dot) is FDA-approved for vasomotor symptoms and vaginal atrophy associated with menopause. Its use for menstrual regulation is off-label.
  • Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) is FDA-approved for treating secondary amenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance.

PCOS and ovulation-related medications:

  • Metformin (Glucophage) – FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and used off-label for PCOS
  • Letrozole (Femara) – FDA-approved for breast cancer and used off-label for ovulation induction

Thyroid medication:

  • Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Levoxyl) – FDA-approved for hypothyroidism treatment

Irregular periods therapy

Therapeutic support may be recommended alongside or instead of medication:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – For managing stress that affects hormonal health
  • Nutritional counseling – Especially for those with eating disorders or nutrient deficiencies
  • Weight management – Crucial in PCOS or when body mass index (BMI) extremes affect cycle regularity
  • Acupuncture – Used by some as a complementary therapy for hormonal support
  • Lifestyle strategies – Sleep hygiene, mindfulness, and regular physical activity
