Must one make up all the days of the past Ramadan during which her menstrual period exceeded its usual duration?

If the blood discharged from a woman exceeds her customary period, she continues to abstain from prayer, fasting, and marital relations. If this blood exceeds the maximum period of menses (15 days), then whatever exceeds her customary period is considered istihadha (non-menstrual bleeding). She must then make up the fasts she missed throughout the entire period, and the prayers she abstained from during the period that exceeded her customary menses.
