[ irregular periods ] If your period comes more frequently than every 21 days, find out the cause of your shortened cycle

  • Ulsan When consulting about a shorter menstrual cycle, the first things we ask are, “How many days apart are your periods?” and “Has the cycle suddenly become shorter recently?”
  • If your period comes more frequently than every 21 days, or if your cycle has shortened from 28–30 days to 23–24 days, it is important to determine whether this is simply a change in your physical condition, an ovulation issue, or a sign of a short luteal phase or diminished ovarian function.
  • The menstrual cycle is a crucial rhythm in women’s health.
