Menstrual Problems

The menstrual cycle in women typically ranges from 21 to 35 days, with menstrual bleeding lasting approximately 2 to 7 days. The regularity of the menstrual cycle is crucial for women's gynecological health and fertility. Irregularities in the menstrual cycle, such as abnormal bleeding patterns or excessively long duration, may indicate underlying issues with the uterine lining. These irregularities can not only affect fertility but also raise the risk of conditions such as endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, even cancer.

Furthermore, irregular menstrual cycles can indicate abnormalities in ovulation. The more irregular the cycle, the less stable the development and quality of the eggs, thereby impacting natural fertility.

Various factors can contribute to menstrual cycle irregularities, including being underweight or overweight, dietary imbalances, excessive physical activity, high levels of stress, certain medications, and underlying uterine or ovarian conditions. If persistent bleeding occurs, especially with increasing blood loss, it is advised to take a doctor consultation as soon as possible.
