The symptoms of irregular periods in women with PCOS can vary widely, but some common patterns include:
- Missed periods: Periods may be infrequent or skipped altogether.
- Heavy bleeding: Periods may be heavier than usual, leading to excessive blood loss.
- Irregular bleeding: Bleeding may occur between periods, or there may be spotting.
- Menstrual cramps: Painful menstrual cramps may be more severe or occur more frequently.
- Pelvic pain: Some women with PCOS may experience pelvic pain or discomfort between periods.
If you’re experiencing irregular periods, it’s important to see your healthcare provider to rule out other possible causes and discuss treatment options.
