Irregular Menstrual Period
A normal menstrual period
lasts from 2 to 7 days. The normal cycle patterns can range from
21 to 35 days. When bleeding occurs that is not part of the
regular cycle; periods are longer or heavier than normal; occurs
between periods; time between periods is longer than normal; or
there is an absence of periods, this is called abnormal or
irregular uterine bleeding. There are various causes of abnormal
bleeding, but the most common is a hormone imbalance. At both
ends of the menstrual life of a woman, periods may be irregular.
Reasons for abnormal periods can be both normal and abnormal.
The most normal reason is pregnancy. Hormone imbalance (not
enough or too much of certain hormones) can also be a common
reason. This can occur as a result of weight loss or gain; heavy
exercise; stress; illness; or certain medications.

Diet

Diet is very important. If you
eat lots of fast foods you are not giving your body
the nourishment it needs. If you eat sporadically,
miss meals and diet constantly - you essentially
send your body into survival mode, it thinks it is
starving and shuts down unnecessary systems. A body
that thinks it is starving will not cycle regularly
- having a cycle that is healthy enough to support
new life is secondary.
