Frequent Menstruation (Polymenorrhea)

Frequent menstruation is defined as menstrual bleeding occurring before the expected time and recurring in less than 21 days.

Frequent menstruation in women can also be a symptom of certain conditions, such as polyps and fibroids. Hormonal imbalances can also lead to more frequent periods. A woman’s psychological state can affect her biological makeup as well. Stress and various life issues can cause menstruation to occur earlier than expected. Another disease that is frequently encountered in women is goitre. Since goitre also affects women hormonally, it causes changes in menstrual cycle.

For young girls experiencing menstruation for the first time, the frequency of menstruation may not be fully predictable because the ovaries may not yet be functioning properly. There is a possibility of frequent menstruation during this period as well.

Menstruation requires a special routine. Therefore, any change in the existing routine requires a doctor’s examination.

Changes in the menstrual cycle are often due to a simple cause. However, in some cases, neglecting these changes can lead to loss of life.

Women of all ages should have routine examinations every year, even if they have no complaints..
