Although each woman’s periods come at different ages and intervals, similarly the flow of periods is also different for each woman. But despite this, many women suffer from the problem of irregular periods.
Every woman has her period every month with an interval of 28 to 45 days. But many women face a longer interval than this. Experts talk about many medical conditions in women due to which the periods that occur every month in women become irregular.
PCOS
