What are the ways to regulate my irregular menstrual cycle?

Doctor's Answer

Provided the cause of your irregular menstrual cycle is because of hormonal imbalance, this can be very easily regulated with hormonal therapy. The most popular and convenient way would be oral hormones either with the oral contraceptive pills (if pregnancy prevention is also wanted) or hormonal pills with no contraceptive benefits. These oral tablets need to be taken on a daily basis so for women who are very forgetful, there is an alternative intramuscular hormonal injection which would last up to 3 months and a repeat injection is then planned 3 months later. Other women who are adverse to repeated injections but would like to regulate their menses along with contraception can opt to have implanon inserted subcutaneously into their arm (which should last for 3 years) or have mirena IUS inserted into the uterine cavity (which should last for 5 years).
