Quick Menstrual Health Check: Understanding Your Cycle

Your menstrual cycle is a vital indicator of your overall well-being. If you’ve been wondering what is truly “normal” for your body, it might be time for a quick menstrual health check. Let’s break down the basics.

What is a “Normal” Cycle?

Every woman is different, but a healthy cycle generally includes:

• Length: 21 to 35 days between periods.
• Duration: Bleeding lasts 2 to 7 days, usually lighter towards the end.
• Mild Discomfort: Manageable cramping that doesn’t disrupt your daily routine.

Signs You Might Need Medical Support

Listen to your body. Consider booking a consultation if you experience:

• Severe Pain: Cramps that over-the-counter pain relief can’t manage.
• Heavy Bleeding: Needing to change a pad or tampon every hour.
• Irregularity: Missing periods, cycles that are too close together, or spotting between periods.
• Severe Mood Changes: Intense anxiety or depression in the days leading up to your period.
