Irregular Cycles: Metrorrhagia
One of the most common gynecological problems is an irregular menstrual cycle. But before you jump to the conclusion that you're irregular, it's important to remember that being regular doesn't mean your cycle is the same number of days each time. One month your cycle may be twenty-nine days, and the next month it may be thirty-one days. This is still considered the norm. It's also normal to be lighter one month and heavier the next. So long as you're menstruating every twenty to forty days, it's a sign that you're ovulating. Another common misperception about irregular cycles is the belief that unless you have a period every four weeks (again, the statistical average) you're irregular. This is not true. Some women menstruate every three weeks, which is normal for them; some menstruate every five weeks, which is normal for them. The only time you should be concerned is if your period consistently yo-yos: three weeks, then four weeks, then five weeks, then three weeks, and so on. When this happens, it's usually a sign that you're not ovulating regularly. This is common in young girls after they first begin menstruating. If your period only jumps around once or twice a year, there isn't anything to worry about. Occasional stress is usually the culprit when this happens.

you can better consult a gynaecologist because prevention is better than cure
