Ask the Doctor

I see my menses twice a month

I have been seeing my menses twice a month for the past four years. Kindly let me know the cause and treatment of the problem.

Although the ideal thing is to see your menses once a month, certain factors ranging from emotional  to infection as well as the use of hormonal and intra uterine contraceptives can cause the menses to be irregular. In addition, women with fibroids or those close to their menopause can also have this kind of problem. My advice will be for you to see a doctor for a proper examination as well as some laboratory investigations.
