Our Services Menstrual Problems
A menstrual cycle is the process by which a woman's body gets ready for the chance of a pregnancy each month. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days but it can range from 21 days to 35 days.
A cessation in menstrual periods (called amenorrhoea), or other menstrual irregularities could be a sign that something is wrong. Menstrual irregularities can mean bleeding between your periods, skipping a period, or having very heavy menstrual periods. It is important to seek medical advice if you have these symptoms.
