Forms of cycle disorders

Hypermenorrhea

This is an excessively heavy menstrual period in which more than 80 ml of blood is lost per cycle. Those affected have to change tampons or pads frequently. The causes are often fibroids, polyps or hormonal imbalances.


Hypomenorrhea

The opposite of hypermenorrhea: very light periods with little blood loss. It can be caused by hormonal disorders, the use of hormonal contraceptives or adhesions in the uterus (e.g. after surgery).


Oligomenorrhea

In this case, bleeding occurs at long intervals, usually at intervals of more than 35 days. Common causes are hormonal disorders, thyroid disease or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).


Amenorrhea

This refers to the complete absence of menstruation. A distinction is made between primary amenorrhea (when the first menstrual period is absent until the age of 16) and secondary amenorrhea (when menstruation is absent for at least 3 months after previously regular cycles). Causes range from pregnancy and breastfeeding to hormonal disorders, eating disorders or chronic stress.


Menorrhagia

Menstruation that lasts longer than 7 days is called menorrhagia. It often occurs in conjunction with hypermenorrhea and can lead to iron deficiency and anemia.


Metrorrhagia

This causes irregular bleeding between the actual menstrual periods. It can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, polyps, fibroids or infections.


Menometrorrhagia

This is a combination of menorrhagia and metrorrhagia: the bleeding is both prolonged and irregular. There is often an underlying organic cause such as fibroids or endometrial changes.
