I’ve done some research and found that decreased levels of oestrogen can cause gum disease in menopausal women. I’ve made an appointment to see my dentist next week but would be in...

18 and short menstrual cycle
On behalf of Hayley:
My last two menstrual cycles have been very short, 21 and 18 days respectively. My normal cycle is 28 days and I bleed for 5 days. The length and heaviness of my periods has remained the same. I am a bit worried that this isn't normal. Do I need to see my GP about this?
