Naturopathic Medicine and Irregular Menstrual Periods
An irregular/skipped period (also known as amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea) refers to when a woman experiences the absence or irregularity of menstruation. The most common reason for skipped periods is pregnancy. Without pregnancy, irregular periods could be an indicator of hormonal imbalance or issues with the female reproductive organs. The two types of amenorrhea are primary and secondary. Primary amenorrhea refers to when periods do not start during puberty.
