An Overview of Oligomenorrhea

Symptoms of Oligomenorrhea

Frequent irregularity of menstrual cycles or missing a period is normal. However, when this condition lasts longer than usual and affects your daily lives, it is significant to notice any changes. Typical symptoms of oligomenorrhea include a lighter period than usual, irregular menstrual cycles, having fewer than 9 periods in the whole year, or going longer than 5 weeks without a period. You might experience other signs of the period when the different bleeding occurs. These include bloating, cramps, and premenstrual syndrome. In some cases, you would experience no other signs. The blood would have a light pink, red, or dark brown color. You would notice mucus or clots in the underwear as well. [2]
