A member asked:

My periods are irregular , it gets extended by atleast 6-7 days every month ..i did the blood test for hormonal imbalance everything is normal..the so?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irregular periods: Normal length of menstrual cycle can be from 21 to 35 days. This number is usually steady. Many factors can change the cycle: hormonal changes, stress, pregnancy, birth control pills, low body fat, severe weight loss or overweight, extreme exercise and others. If the change is new, a consult with a gyn is needed.
