Why is there an irregular menstrual cycle? Is it harmful to the body? What do you do when you have irregular menstrual periods? I’ll try to talk about this.

First of all, let me tell you how you can realize that you have irregular menstruation – There is an average gap of 28 days between the start of one menstrual period and the next. If your period starts on the 1st of the month, the next month will start on the 29th of the month. But it does not always happen exactly 28 days after menstruation, and it is very normal. The interval between the start of one menstrual period and another can be from 21 days to 35 days. So, it is normal to be delayed for 35 days.

 Our body may vary at different times, such as stress, and illness, and the weight may be less or more. However, not everyone has a monthly period after 28 days. It could be a few days earlier or later, but that’s normal.

However, if the time between the start of one menstrual period and another is more or less than this, i.e. the second menstrual period occurs before 21 days or after more than 35 days, then it will be an irregular menstrual period.
