What could cause irregular periods?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It sounds like you are experiencing some changes in your menstrual cycle that are causing discomfort, particularly with the spotting and pain. Irregular periods followed by a period of regularity and now the spotting with discomfort in your lower right side could indicate a few possibilities, such as:

1. Hormonal imbalances – These can cause irregular periods and spotting between cycles.

2. Ovarian cysts – Pain and discomfort on one side, especially near the uterus, can sometimes be associated with ovarian cysts, which may also cause spotting.

3. Endometrial issues – Conditions like endometriosis or a thickened endometrial lining could lead to irregular bleeding and discomfort.

4. Infection or inflammation – Occasionally, pelvic infections or inflammation could lead to spotting and pain.

5. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – If you have had irregular cycles in the past, PCOS could be a contributing factor.

Since you have already had an ultrasound, that is a good step in identifying any abnormalities, like cysts or issues with the uterus. The ultrasound results should help provide more clarity on what might be causing these symptoms. In the meantime, keep tracking your symptoms, including any changes in pain, bleeding patterns, or additional symptoms like bloating or fatigue. When your results come, your doctor will likely advise further steps based on the findings. If you feel significant pain or if the spotting worsens, consider reaching out to your healthcare provider sooner. Let me know if you need any advice while awaiting your test results.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
