The periodic changes in a woman’s body is associated with monthly bleeding and that is not the same for every woman.

This cyclic change is called as menstrual cycle. Basically, it is the shedding of the inner lining of the uterus that is given out by the body as menstrual blood.

There are 4 phases of menstrual cycle in 1 month:

  • Bleeding phase (day 0-8)– The beginning phase. this may last up to 8 days
  • Follicular phase (day 9-13) – In this phase, there is proliferation of uterine walls and stimulation of certain hormones
  • Ovulation phase (day 14) – This is the phase of fertilization
  • Luteal phase (day 15-28) – In this phase, the lining of your uterus normally gets thicker to prepare for a possible pregnancy. This lasts till the end of the every cycle and before the bleeding phase of the next.

However, these days don’t coincide every month. For a healthy woman, period dates don’t vary much but for some it may differ every other month. For some women the period cycle may exceeds the normal length (i.e. more than 35 days) and for some women, the cycle maybe shorter than normal (i.e. less than 15 days).

Why there is irregularities in the menses?

Things we do in our everyday life and the activities we perform have a great impact on our cycle. Some of the reasons for irregularity are:
