The menstrual cycle is a natural process in a woman's body, however each woman may experience her menstrual cycle differently. There are a number of reasons you might need to see your doctor about your periods, including:

• changes in the pattern of your periods
• increasingly heavy periods
• periods that last more than eight days
• periods that come fewer than three weeks apart
• periods coming more than two to three months apart
• painful periods that cause you to stay home
• bleeding between periods
• bleeding after intercourse

If there is any change in your cycle that worries you, book an appointment to discuss this with one of our friendly, experienced doctors.
