Cycle Irregularities in Women
How do you know you have an irregular period?
Irregular periods can happen to any woman, from the time they start menstruating to the pre-menopause stages. While a slight variation in the days you get your period can be normal, these symptoms are not:

Diagnosis and Treatment of Cycle Irregularities
When you see a provider for cycle irregularities, they will first review your medical history and any other medical conditions you have been diagnosed with. Bloodwork, a pelvic ultrasound, an endometrial biopsy, and blood tests are all used as diagnostic tests.
Treatment for cycle irregularities is dependent on what is disrupting your menstrual cycle. Medication to regulate cycles and to control pain, surgical procedures, hormone treatments, and more are all examples of feasible treatments.
The providers at The Women's Health Group will work with you to find what is causing your cycle irregularities and what treatment is best.
