What are the reasons for an abnormal menstrual cycle?

Patient's question:

I have been sick for two months, and my menstruation has always been insufficient.

Doctor's answer:

The menstrual cycle refers to the number of days between the first day of two consecutive menstrual periods, typically ranging from 28 to 30 days. A variation of about 3 days before or after this range is still considered normal. The menstrual period refers to the duration of menstruation, usually lasting 3 to 7 days. The amount of blood loss during a menstrual period is approximately 30 to 80 milliliters. Menstrual blood is alkaline, dark red, odorless, viscous, and does not clot. It contains detached fragments of the endometrium, cervical mucus, and shed vaginal epithelial cells. The first menstrual period is called menarche, which typically occurs between the ages of 13 and 15, though this can vary among individuals. The onset of menstruation generally does not affect a woman's daily life or work, but sometimes it may cause lower back and sacral discomfort or a sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen due to pelvic congestion. Your condition may be related to endometrial abnormalities and requires examination.
