What Are the Causes of Prolonged Menstrual Cycles?
Menstrual cycles are typically 25 to 36 days in length with three to seven days of bleeding. The regulation of the menstrual cycle is directly due to the hormones estrogen and progesterone. From time to time, women suffer from temporary conditions that may cause a shift in these hormones, which causes the period to last a little longer than usual. In addition, there are some long-term medical conditions that cause prolonged bleeding.
