Problems and Diseases of the Female Reproduction System

Irregular Periods
Many women have cycles that vary considerably in length, this is normal. When does irregularity become abnormal, then? Menstruation that's so irregular that it seems not to be a cycle at all is considered abnormal, as is bleeding that occurs at intervals of less than eighteen or more than forty two days. If either of these patterns develops, it may means that the woman's system is not functioning correctly.

If a woman's ovarian hormones become deficient or out of balance in relation to one another, a disturbance in her pattern of menstruation often follows. Her menstruation may be either too scant or too excessive, or it may stop altogether for a few months. Often, the hormone disturbance can be corrected with artificial hormone preparations, or at least an artificial balance can be achieved until the natural balance returns.
