Irregular and infrequent menstrual periods that are more than 45 days apart. Reduced bleeding and lack of ovulation may occur. Irregular periods are associated with pregnancy, miscarriage, menopause, excessive weight loss, endometriosis, disorders of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, hypothyroidism, and estrogen-secreting tumors. Irregular periods may be a woman’s normal pattern, but the abnormalities that may cause irregular bleeding should be ruled out by a doctor before making that assumption. Identifying and treating the cause of the oligomenorrhea should eliminate the condition.
