10. Management Options
The management of irregular periods depends on the root cause. Only a doctor can find the best course of management for each individual. Care options may include ceasing hormonal birth control or managing an underlying disease. Getting a routine annual gynecological checkup may also reduce the risk of irregular periods.
If caused by stress, people may find it helpful to practice meditation or breathing techniques. Getting enough sleep, staying hydrated and eating a balanced meal may also help.
