Symptoms of Irregular Periods

Irregular periods or irregular menstrual cycles may indicate a serious health or medical condition. It's important that women fully recognize and understand the symptoms involving irregular periods.

Light Periods

Unusually light periods, such as slight bleeding for just one or two days, is a sure sign of irregular periods.

Heavy Periods

Some periods may involve heavy bleeding, sometimes for more than a week. These symptoms may occur for approximately two to three months, indicating an irregular period.

Frequent Periods

One sign of irregular periods is frequent menstruation. Women who get their period as often as two to three times a month should consult a doctor.

Infrequent Periods

Women who get their period intermittently, such as just a few times each year, may be exhibiting signs of irregular menstrual cycles.

Nonstop Bleeding and Spotting

Irregular periods can also generate such red-flag symptoms as nonstop bleeding, as well as heavy spotting between menstrual cycles.
