๐Ÿ“– Oligomenorrhea

Infrequent menstrual periods, occurring more than 35 days apart. Unlike amenorrhea (no periods), women with oligomenorrhea do menstruate, just irregularly.

In Detail

Oligomenorrhea affects about 10-15% of reproductive-age women. Common causes include PCOS (most frequent), thyroid disorders, hyperprolactinemia, excessive exercise, eating disorders, and stress. It reduces fertility by making ovulation unpredictable. Tracking cycles with Ovuloom can help identify patterns and predict ovulation even with irregular cycles. Treatment depends on the cause and whether conception is desired.
