What are Infrequent or Prolonged Menstrual Periods?
Infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods, also known as oligomenorrhea or menorrhagia respectively, are common concerns in gynecology. Oligomenorrhea refers to menstrual cycles that are longer than 35 days, while menorrhagia involves heavy or extended menstrual bleeding lasting more than 7 days. Both conditions can significantly affect a woman's quality of life and require proper diagnosis and treatment.
