The length of a menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman. Normal periods last between 37 days normally. Consult your doctor if your period lasts longer than 7 days consistently. Some women may have longer or shorter menstruation cycles compared to other women. This does not make they any different from you, their body is just processing the hormones differently than yours.

Amenorrhea is when a female misses more than one menstrual cycle. This does not apply to young girls who have not had their period longer than two years. Women who have missed at least three menstrual cycles in a row have amenorrhea, as do girls who have never started their period and have reached the age of 16.
