What Does a Menstrual Cycle Longer Than 35 Days Indicate?
A cycle longer than 35 days is referred to as oligomenorrhea. Common causes include:
PCOS: One of the most common causes of prolonged cycles. Thyroid Disorders: Similar to shorter cycles, thyroid imbalances can lengthen the menstrual cycle. Hyperprolactinemia: Elevated levels of prolactin can inhibit the menstrual cycle, causing delays. Chronic Conditions: Disorders like diabetes or chronic stress can interfere with menstrual regularity. Eating Disorders: Conditions such as anorexia or bulimia can disrupt the menstrual cycle.
