A member asked:

What can it mean when you have two periods within one month?

Dr. PAUL EUN answered

Depends on frequency: Average menstrual cycle interval is about 28 days. Once in a while, a woman may experience two periods in a month and still be reasonably normal if they occurred at the beginning and the end of the month. However, having periods more often than every 21 days is not normal and deserves evaluation.
