At menarche, after labor, or throughout the perimenopausal stage, some variation in menstrual flow is typical. However, oligomenorrhea is the term used when a woman reports a menstrual cycle that lasts longer than 35 days or four to nine cycles in a year. Before oligomenorrhea begins to develop, the menstrual flow should be normal.

Oligomenorrhea frequently indicates an underlying illness that may be diseases like prolactinomas, Cushing syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, etc.

Investigations that can be done are abdominal and pelvic ultrasound; polycystic ovaries, symptoms of pelvic inflammation, and ascites may all be revealed by this test.

In cases where adrenal or adnexal masses are suspected, a CT scan is helpful.

In cases when prolactin levels rise, MRI of pituitary aids in the diagnosis of prolactinoma.

If a patient exhibits symptoms of pelvic inflammatory illness, endocervical swabs are performed. Other examinations that can be performed to investigate include blood analysis for FSH, LH, TSH levels, etc.

The most typical oligomenorrhea symptom is missed or delayed periods, however, other symptoms can also occur, depending on what is making your periods irregular.

These signs include:

acne.
headaches.
flashes of heat.
vaginal dripping.
distorted vision.
excessive body and facial hair growth.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Oligomenorrhea

Arthava = menstrual blood

Kshaya = loss/deficiency/absence

Oligomenorrhea or Artava Kshaya, is a subset of Artava Vyapad(menstrual disorder), but it is not one of the eight distinct categories of menstrual diseases. It is characterized by a lack or loss of menstrual blood. The concept of “artava” and its problems can help us understand the physiology of menstruation. Fundamentally, Agni (fire) is the source of artava. Therefore, the Pitta dosha predominates in menstrual blood. Important Vata dosha functions include controlling menstruation and the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, while the Kapha dosha is responsible for the uterus’s post-menstrual repair and restoration processes. Consequently, all three doshas are involved in the physiology of menstruation. Therefore, it is important to comprehend the irregularities of the dosha axis and how they relate to menstruation diseases. Normal menstrual flow usually lasts for 5 days, and the average menstrual cycle lasts between 21 and 35 days.

Among the eight different types of menstruation problems, there is another one called ksheena-artava. Ksheena-artava and artava kshaya have the same meaning. Oligomenorrhea is a characteristic of ksheena artava. Oligomenorrhea can result from an estrogen deficit, a lack of lymph, blood, or other tissues, or from a combination of these factors. Artava-kshaya is only brought on by a lack of estrogen. The accompanying symptoms of these two illnesses are dissimilar. Additionally, we discover that each of these circumstances is described separately therefore they can be different from each other.
