About Oligomenorrhoea

Oligomenorrhoea is not a procedure but a medical condition characterized by infrequent menstrual periods, typically defined as cycles lasting more than 35 days or having fewer than 9 periods per year. A consultation with an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist for oligomenorrhoea involves a comprehensive diagnostic process to identify the underlying cause. This includes a detailed medical history, physical and pelvic examination, blood tests to check hormone levels (like thyroid, prolactin, and androgens), and often a pelvic ultrasound. The goal is to diagnose conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, hypothalamic dysfunction, or premature ovarian insufficiency. Treatment is tailored to the cause and the patient's goals, ranging from lifestyle modifications and hormonal therapy to address specific issues like infertility or regulate cycles.
