Irregular Menstruation: Why do we get periods twice a month? Experts explain how dangerous this condition can be

Having a period once a month is considered normal. However, some women experience periods twice a month. There could be several reasons for this. If a woman has periods more than twice a month, she should consult a doctor immediately. Nowadays, many problems related to periods are seen in women.

Understand the menstrual cycle
The menstrual cycle is 28 days long. However, if it's between 21 and 35 days, it's considered normal. If your period is shorter than 21 days or longer than 36 days, or if its dates vary from month to month, it's considered irregular.

Hormonal imbalance
is the most common cause of having periods twice a month. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone help regulate your menstrual cycle. When these hormones are out of balance, periods become irregular and may occur more than once a month.

PCOS
is a common hormonal problem. It can cause irregular periods, even twice a month. With this condition, small cysts form in a woman's ovaries. This can alter the timing of her menstrual cycle.

Uterine fibroids
are small lumps that form in the uterus. Depending on where and how large the lumps are, the timing of your periods may change.

Thyroid problems:
Thyroid problems, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, can change the timing of your periods. These conditions affect the hormones released by the thyroid.
