Stress: Vigorous exercise and daily routines can have an impact on your menstrual cycle


Birth control pills: The use of pills to prevent pregnancy keeps the ovaries from releasing eggs. Going on or off birth control pills can affect menstruation.


Hormonal Imbalance


Uterine Polyps or Fibroid: These are non-cancerous growths on the uterus which causes pain or heavy bleeding


Endometriosis: This happens when the uterine tissues grow outside the uterus which may cause an abnormal or painful period


Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: This is a bacterial infection that affects the female reproductive system


Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: This is a condition where the uterus makes more male hormones and disrupts the menstrual cycle


Uterine Cancer



Knowing the cause of the menstrual abnormality is the first step towards management or treatment because most treatment options depend on the underlying causes.
