Significance of Oligomenorrhoea
Oligomenorrhoea is a condition characterized by infrequent menstrual periods, occurring at intervals greater than 35 days. Women with this condition often experience only four to nine menstrual cycles a year and it is commonly associated with hormonal imbalances, particularly polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This menstrual disorder can indicate underlying reproductive health issues and may also be linked to symptoms of Artava kshaya, suggesting a potential precursor to infertility. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to address this condition effectively.
