What is a normal period?

  • A typical cycle is about 21 to 35 days (counted from the first day of one period to the first day of the next).
  • Bleeding usually lasts about 4 to 7 days.
  • Every woman is a little different. What matters most is your own pattern. If your pattern changes suddenly, pay attention.

Common period problems

  • Irregular periods – the gap between periods keeps coming shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.
  • Heavy bleeding – needing to change a pad every 1-2 hours, passing large clots, or bleeding for more than 7-8 days.
  • Painful periods – cramps so strong that they disturb your daily work or sleep.
  • Missed periods – missing 3 or more periods in a row (and you are not pregnant).
  • Bleeding between periods.

What causes period problems?

Period problems can have different causes. Common ones include:

  • Stress
  • Sudden weight gain or weight loss
  • Thyroid problems
  • PCOS/PCOD
  • Fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus)
  • Hormone imbalance

Only a doctor can find out which of these is causing your problem.

When should you see a gynecologist?

Do not wait if:

  • your cycle keeps coming shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days,
  • you miss 3 periods in a row,
  • bleeding is very heavy (soaking a pad every 1-2 hours),
  • you bleed between periods or after menopause,
  • period pain disturbs your daily life, or simple painkillers do not help.

Get medical help immediately if you are soaking a pad every hour for a few hours, or if you feel dizzy or faint with bleeding. Do not wait for an appointment in that case.

How does a gynecologist find the cause?

The doctor will first ask about your cycle, your health, and any medicines you take. If needed, she may suggest tests to find the reason. Treatment is planned only after the cause is clear.

How are period problems treated?

Treatment depends on the cause. It can include lifestyle changes or medicines, and your doctor will explain what fits your case. The good news: most period problems are treatable, especially when caught early.
