Menstrual customs are also called periods. It is due to the regular bleeding changes caused by the uterine wall of a woman's body undergoing a series of growth and development and then falling off.

The physiological cycle is 30 to 45 days, with different differences. If your menstruation is regular, then no matter how long the menstrual cycle is, it is normal. In clinical medicine, a delay of more than one week can be considered as a delayed leave.
