Shorter Period Cycle

A typical menstrual cycle lasts two to seven days and lasts between 21 and 35 days. However, it is abnormal if your period suddenly gets extremely shorter.

Heavy Flow

Once in a while, heavy flow is normal. However, if it occurs every month, it may be caused by PCOS, hormonal imbalance, menorrhagia, endometriosis, and fibroids.

Missed Period Cycle

Unless a woman is pregnant, nursing, or going through menopause, missing her period for more than 90 days is considered irregular. Consult your doctor if that isn't the case.

Passing Multiple Blood Clots

Menstrual blood clots are normal! But if they are large, dark in colour, or accompanied with heavy flow, you should see a doctor immediately.

Intense Cramps

Just like heavy flow, experiencing intense cramps every month is not normal. Prostaglandin, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and hormone abnormalities are possible causes.
