Like personality, every woman's body is unique and different, as well as their monthly menstrual cycle. After a few years of menstruation, women are more likely to adapt to the frequency of menstruation, menstrual cycle and flow of their own. So, if there is a change in menstrual flow, they start to wonder what's really going on.
What is a normal menstrual cycle ?
Menstrual cycle in women is in a cycle of 28 days and the flow is for 3-5 days. But cycles and menstrual flow is different from one woman to another woman. Three days may be normal for some women, 8 or 10 days is common for other women. Similarly, a normal menstrual flow for a woman can be uncommon to some other woman..

Instead of women in age 40's or 50's, they are more of a level around menopause. This is caused by the ovaries begin to slow down the production of estrogen and menstruation becomes less frequent flow. Menstrual period will be shorter or lighter. When menstruation stops for a period of 12 consecutive months, you have reached menopause. The average age for menopause about 51 years.
Another root cause menstruation to be little or no regular exercise is unnecessary. This phenomenon is common among ballet dancers and marathon runner. Intensive exercise affects the production of reproductive hormones related to the menstrual cycle.
