Treating Irregular Periods And PMS

Most women experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in the days just before their period begins each month. It tends to affect a woman’s physical health, as well as her emotions and behavior. A woman’s menstrual cycle typically lasts 21 to 35 days, the average being 28 days, and most periods last for 5 days. Irregular periods are those where bleeding lasts for longer than 8 days, the cycle is longer than 35 days, or there are other changes in what each woman may consider normal. Missed, early, or late periods are all signs of irregular periods.

Irregular periods can be caused by many different factors, and the treatment for each varies.
