Doctors distinguish several types of menstrual irregularities, which differ in the duration, frequency and physical manifestations of the disease.

Such a long delay is the norm only for girls who have not reached final puberty, pregnant and lactating women, and also after the onset of menopause **. If menstruation lasts less than three days, this is oligomenorrhea, and with polymenorrhea, menstruation comes earlier than once every 21 days. Menorrhagia is heavy and prolonged menstruation at regular intervals of 21 to 35 days. Many women experience pain in the lower abdomen during or shortly before menstruation, as well as nausea, headaches, depressed or anxious emotional state – all this refers to the concept of “algodismenorrhea” ***.
