Irregular periods can stem from several different causes, PCOD, thyroid imbalance, significant stress, weight changes, or perimenopause, among others. Understanding the likely cause in your specific case shapes the right treatment approach. Homeopathy works on the underlying hormonal pattern once that picture is clearer.

What Counts as Irregular, and Common Causes
A typical cycle ranges from about 21 to 35 days. Irregularity means cycles that are much shorter or longer than this, vary significantly month to month, or periods that stop for months at a time without pregnancy.
PCOD is one of the most common causes we see, but far from the only one. Thyroid imbalance, both underactive and overactive, significant weight loss or gain, high stress, and perimenopause in the 40s can all disrupt cycle regularity.
Because the cause varies so much, understanding your specific pattern, and often some basic testing, genuinely shapes what treatment approach makes sense, rather than treating irregular periods as one generic problem.

Tests Worth Considering
Depending on your pattern, Dr. Chhavi may suggest thyroid function tests, a pelvic ultrasound, or hormone level checks to better understand the underlying cause before or alongside starting treatment. See our approach to PCOD and thyroid specifically.
