the menstruaHealth
Your the menstruacycle is a natural rhythm of your body—but when it becomes irregular, painful, or unusually heavy, it can disrupt your everyday life. At Mangalam Maternity Centre, we understand that every woman’s experience is unique, and we’re here to offer sensitive, expert care to help you feel your best again.
What Is Abnormal Menstruation?
Abnormal menstruation refers to any disruption in the regularity, flow, or symptoms of your period. If your cycle occurs more frequently than every 21 days or less often than every 35 days—or lasts longer than 7 days—it may be a sign that something needs attention. Many women also experience excessive bleeding, intense cramps, or discomfort due to underlying conditions like fibroids, PCOS, or hormonal imbalances.
