Period timing problems
Menstrual irregularities are deviations from a typical menstrual cycle, including periods that come too frequently, too infrequently, are unusually heavy or light, or are accompanied by severe pain.
The term covers a range of conditions from occasional missed periods to chronic disorders like amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) or menorrhagia (excessive bleeding).
