You can get your period twice in one month for several reasons, many of which are related to changes or imbalances in your menstrual cycle or underlying health conditions. Some common causes include:
- Having a naturally shorter menstrual cycle, meaning your periods can sometimes occur twice in 28-30 days.
- Hormonal imbalances from conditions like perimenopause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or thyroid issues.
- Changes in weight, stress, excessive exercise, or illness that affect your cycle length.
- Effects of hormonal birth control, which can cause breakthrough bleeding or changes in the timing of periods.
- Uterine abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, or endometriosis that can cause irregular or heavier bleeding.
- Pregnancy-related bleeding, miscarriage, or infections like sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
If periods twice in one month happen occasionally, it may not be a concern, but if it is frequent or accompanied by other symptoms like heavy bleeding, pain, or changes in health, consulting a healthcare provider is advisable to rule out underlying conditions.
