Never knowing quite when your period will arrive — or how heavy or light it will be — makes planning life genuinely harder, beyond the physical discomfort. Irregular cycles are common, but they're also a signal worth listening to, since the cycle reflects a lot about overall hormonal and metabolic health.
What Causes Irregular Cycles
Common causes include PCOS, thyroid imbalance, significant stress, sudden weight changes, perimenopause, and certain medications. A normal cycle can range from 21–35 days, so some variation is expected — but a pattern that's consistently unpredictable, or cycles that stop or change dramatically, is worth investigating.
Basic blood work — thyroid function, hormonal panel — and a pelvic ultrasound if PCOS is suspected are reasonable first steps with your gynaecologist to identify a treatable underlying cause.
Key Insight
Constitutional homeopathy addresses the underlying hormonal and metabolic tendency behind irregular cycles, aiming for a more predictable, comfortable pattern over time rather than only regulating a single cycle.
