Period Problems

 

Some women bleed for two days, while others bleed for a whole week. The flow can be light and barely noticeable or quite intense. You may or may not have cramps, and if so, they may be mild or painful.

• Strong exercise important
• Weight loss or gain
• Continuous use of contraceptives
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Intense stress
• Perimenopause
