Hello, menstrual disorders can manifest as menorrhagia (excessively heavy menstrual bleeding), hypomenorrhea (scanty menstrual flow), prolonged menstruation, or irregular menstrual cycles. Some women may experience two periods in one month, while others may have intervals exceeding 40 days between periods—sometimes even 2 or 3 months. Additionally, some women may suffer from prolonged, continuous, or intermittent spotting (menometrorrhagia). All these conditions fall under the category of menstrual disorders. The primary cause of menstrual disorders in women is dysfunction of ovarian endocrine function.
