Longer menstrual cycles do not indicate better ovaries, and there is no scientific basis for this statement.
A woman’s normal menstrual cycle lasts from 21 to 35 days, with an average of 28 days. If it is longer than normal, it does not mean that the ovaries are functioning better, but may indicate that there are abnormalities in the ovaries.
Ovarian diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts, ovarian inflammation, etc. may cause damage to ovarian function, resulting in abnormal menstrual symptoms such as longer menstrual cycles. Patients also experience abdominal pain and abnormal leukorrhea due to different ovarian diseases.
In addition, long menstrual cycles may also be caused by endocrine disorders due to excessive mental stress. The presence of diseases such as endometritis, endometriosis, and thyroid dysfunction may also lead to prolonged menstrual cycles.
If you have a prolonged menstrual cycle, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, identify the cause under the guidance of a professional doctor, and carry out targeted treatment.
