Abnormal duration of menstrual period: Normal menstrual period is 3-7 days. If it is less than 3 days or more than 7 days, it is menstrual disorder.

Abnormal menstrual flow: The normal amount of bleeding per menstrual cycle is 20-80 milliliters, with less than 20 milliliters indicating insufficient menstrual flow and more than 80 milliliters indicating excessive menstrual flow.

Irregular bleeding: Irregular vaginal bleeding occurs outside of the menstrual period.

Other manifestations include frequent menstruation (menstrual cycle shorter than 21 days), infrequent menstruation (menstrual cycle longer than 40 days), and mid-term bleeding.

2、 Reasons for menstrual disorders

There are various reasons for menstrual disorders, including:

Medication therapy: Depending on the specific cause, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate medication. Menstrual disorders caused by insufficient luteal function can be treated with progesterone as a substitute; Menstrual disorders caused by polycystic ovary syndrome can be treated with oral contraceptives or insulin sensitizers.
