One of the most common conditions that worries women is menstrual bleeding. The menstrual cycle usually occurs every 28–35 days, with an average of 28 days. Bleeding typically lasts between 3 and 7 days. After bleeding ends, there is usually a 7-day interval with no bleeding, followed by ovulation. After ovulation, a 14-day phase begins. If the egg is not fertilized, the next menstruation occurs.

Types of Menstrual Disorders

Amenorrhea:
Absence of menstruation outside of pregnancy, divided into:

• Primary: No menstruation by age 16.
• Secondary: Stopping menstruation due to factors like medication, ovarian issues, intense exercise, thyroid disorders, etc.

Dysmenorrhea:
Painful menstruation caused by uterine contractions. Pain can be mild or severe enough to interfere with daily life.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS):
A group of physical and emotional symptoms such as breast tenderness, mood swings, food cravings, fatigue, and depression, typically occurring between ovulation and the start of menstruation.

Causes of Uterine & Cycle Changes

• Ovaries release hormones and eggs, affecting the endometrium.
• Changes in ovulation timing mainly cause menstrual cycle length variations.
• Tracking cycles for several months helps identify the cause.

A normal cycle is usually between 28–30 days, but in some cases, it may extend to 35–40 days.
