Menstrual Cycle Problems

Menstrual cycle problems encompass a range of conditions that affect the regularity, duration, or characteristics of menstrual periods. A normal menstrual cycle ranges from 21-35 days, with bleeding lasting 3-7 days. When periods deviate significantly from this pattern or cause severe symptoms, medical evaluation and treatment may be necessary. Common menstrual problems include irregular periods, heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), absent periods (amenorrhea), and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). These issues can significantly impact quality of life, fertility, and overall health, making proper diagnosis and treatment essential for women's well-being.
