Oligomenorrhea

Oligomenorrhea refers to infrequent or irregular menstrual periods, typically occurring more than 35 days apart. It often results from hormonal imbalances that affect ovulation, and can be associated with conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), stress, significant weight changes, or thyroid issues. While it's generally not a serious condition, it can impact fertility and may signal underlying health concerns. If experiencing irregular periods consistently, consulting a healthcare provider can help identify causes and appropriate treatment options to regulate menstrual cycles and address any related health issues.
