Anovulatory Bleeding
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Anovulatory bleeding is irregular uterine bleeding that occurs when the ovaries do not release an egg regularly, which disrupts the rhythm and amount of the menstrual cycle. It is a frequent cause of unpredictable periods.
How it presents: periods that come at irregular intervals, bleeding that is heavier or more prolonged than usual, or the absence of menstruation for periods of time.
Related factors: hormonal imbalances, weight changes, stress, and certain stages of reproductive life.
The evaluation falls to the gynecologist, and in cases where a hormonal origin is suspected, the endocrinologist may be involved. When cycles lose their regularity in a noticeable or persistent way, it is worth seeking the opinion of a health professional.
