Menstrual abnormalities can result from various factors, including:
Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders can disrupt the hormonal balance and affect menstrual cycles. Uterine Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus can cause heavy bleeding and prolonged periods. Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus, leading to painful periods and heavy bleeding. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the reproductive organs that can cause irregular menstrual cycles. Stress and Lifestyle Factors: High levels of stress, excessive exercise, and extreme weight loss or gain can impact menstrual regularity. Medications: Certain medications, including birth control pills and anticoagulants, can affect menstrual cycles.
