Monthly, from 11-15 years and ending45-50 years, in the female body there are phase changes that manifest menstruation - the flow of blood from the genital tract. Normally, excretions last for 3-7 days and occur with an interval of 21-35 days. All the blood loss is approximately 80 ml. Changes in the body that begin with the arrival of menstruation, called the menstrual cycle. If a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding, menstruation does not occur.
There are times when the menstrual cycleis violated. Menstruation becomes irregular, painful, plentiful or meager. Bloody discharge may appear before menstruation, after them, and also in the middle of the cycle. To determine the cause of such violations, you need to contact a gynecologist and an endocrinologist who will analyze the situation and, if necessary, prescribe a treatment.
