Abnormal menses: There are many things that influence our hormonal shifts such as weight gain or loss, stress, illnesses, etc. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding causing irregularities in the normal menstrual cycle happens often.

when i get a bruise or scratch an itch my body is showing the bruise or scratch marks for longer periods than i am used to.should i be concerned?
