Answer to Question 1

Ans:

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Menometrorrhagia is heavy bleeding during and between menstrual periods. Polymenorrhea is frequent menstruation with periods less than 21 days apart. Amenorrhea is absence of menstruation. Dyspareunia is pain following intercourse.
