Menstruation is a part of a woman's life from her teens to the middle ages. Menstruation starts at the age of 10–16 and ends on average at the age of 51. The normal duration of the menstrual cycle is 24 to 38 days.
Menstrual pain occur in connection with menstrual bleeding. Menstrual pain usually starts a few days before the menstrual bleeding and lasts for a few days or the entire menstruation.
Painful menstruations (dysmenorrhea) are common and often under-treated conditions. When should I see a doctor for severe menstrual pain?
Menstrual manipulation is possible with combination oral contraceptive pills or progesterone. Common reasons for manipulating menstruation include, for example, parties, travel or other special events, such as matriculation examinations or sports competitions.
Up to one in three women will have heavy menstrual bleeding at some point in their lives.
If heavy menstrual bleeding is a problem, you should make an appointment with a gynaecologist to find out the cause and start treatment.
