What criteria do doctors use to determine if periods are "irregular" or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irregular Period: Hi, when you don't have your normal period then that considers irregular. In general if the cycle is less than 21 days or longer than 35 days and lasts more than 7-8 days that cycle considers irregular, missed period, spotting, getting the period early or late could be the sign of an irregular period.
