"To see a doctor for irregular cycles we have to understand what is irregular cycle. There are a lot of variation in the normal cycle . Normal cycle ranges from 21 to 35 days. Woman having 21 to 35 days cycle for 4 to 5 days in the cycle is considered as normal. If you skip for 4 to 5 days it is still considered as normal.
