Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions

Irregular Menstrual Cycle: Understanding and Regulating Your Cycle

What is an irregular menstrual cycle?

A menstrual cycle is considered irregular when its duration varies by more than 35 days from one month to the next. This can result in periods being infrequent, too frequent, or unpredictable.

Variations in the menstrual cycle can be caused by several factors, depending on the stages of a woman's life: after pregnancy, physical or emotional changes, disrupted sleep/wake cycle, or even medical conditions.

Typically, a normal menstrual cycle lasts between 23 and 35 days. Only 10 to 15% of women have a cycle that lasts exactly 28 days, and 20% report having irregular cycles.

What causes an irregular cycle?

There are several causes that can cause an irregular menstrual cycle:

• Hormonal disruptions
• Stress, diet and external factors
• The influence of contraceptives
• Physiological changes, age and menopause

When to worry about irregular cycles?

All of these factors can lengthen or shorten the menstrual cycle. It is important to talk to a doctor if irregularities persist and cycles last longer than 35 days.

Signs to watch for with irregular menstrual cycles

In addition to the length of the cycle, it is essential to monitor other symptoms, such as the number of days of periods. If they are absent, or on the contrary very long, a medical consultation is recommended.

What can disrupt the menstrual cycle?

The menstrual cycle can be impacted by several factors:

• Chronic diseases: certain uterine, kidney, liver, thyroid diseases or even diabetes
• Intense physical activity: Hormone production is disrupted during intense physical exercise, which can cause periods to become more spaced out or even disappear for a while
• The environment and lifestyle habits: stress, pollution or even poor diet are elements that can disrupt the menstrual cycle

Healthy lifestyle and practical advice

In addition to natural food supplements, it is important to adopt a healthy lifestyle to regain regular cycles. Stress and sleep management are essential, as these are factors that have a direct impact on hormones, and therefore on menstrual cycles.

Diet also plays a major role in menstrual cycles. It must be balanced, rich in fiber, whole grains and legumes.

Finally, it is advisable to maintain regular but moderate physical activity to avoid disrupting cycles and the duration of periods.
