Mr Folasire said that any female menstruating twice a month needed to see a doctor to determine its actual cause and treatment, adding that the normal menstruating period should be once a month.

She, however, said that there was nothing abnormal in women experiencing minimal pain when menstruation was about to commence adding that the pain must clear as the menstrual days increased.

“But, if the pain increases as the menstrual days increase, then there is a problem and such a person must see a doctor, because the pain could be as a result of fibroid or other infections,’’ she said.
