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
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.
|
| Lifestyle |
-
You
should lead an active, pious and high moral
life, shouldn't get agitated, keep happy, avoid
excessive coitus, shouldn't read lascivious and
porno literature, photos, films or movies, but
keep yourself engaged physically and mentally.
