6 Ways Your Menstrual Flow Can Determine Your Health Condition by Jayclinics(m): 8:54pm On Jul 14, 2014
Every month a matured female expects to see
her period right? Which after it fails to surface
most of the females will become worried. This
time around, when it shows, don’t just flush it
down the toilet or dispose the stuff as you guys
do… I don’t know how. But try to take a closer
look at it, the feelings you experience during
the flow because it might be having some
information about your present health condition.


1) The Period’s Pain:

Most women experience some pains during their
menstrual flow, they call it menstrual cramps
but medicine called it, Dysmenorrhea. It is quiet
painful and it occurs due to the shedding of
uterine lining during your period. The shedding
occurs due to the excess secretion of
prostaglandin (hormone involved in pain and
inflammation.
When the pain is severe and occurs right on the
lower abdomen, it can indicate a more serious
health condition called, endometriosis, which is
the situation whereby the woman’s uterine
tissues grows outside the uterus, typically in the
pelvic area.


2) Flow Of The Period:

A normal, and healthy period should exterminate
an average amount of blood that is less than one
cup. Some women can experience heavy bleeding
but most of them can lead to some other health
conditions, namely, anemia, fibroids, polyps,
tumors in the cervix, uterus or endometriosis.
They occur mostly in women that are above the
age of 35years.
Hence, women who experience a smaller flow
during their periods could either be going
through hormonal changes, poor nutrition, and
stress. These is mostly seen in women who are
approaching peri-menopause and menopause.


3) The Frequency of Your Menstrual Flow:

Does your period flow frequently? I mean does
it flow during the time it is supposed to flow?
Because reports from Mayo clinic stated that
the frequency of your menstrual period is a
good indicator whether your health is okay or
not. From calculations, menstrual flow is
supposed to occur every 21-35 days and last 2-7
days, it usually shortens and becomes more
regular as you approach menopause.
Irregular menstrual periods in matured females
above teen age should be taken serious,
inasmuch as it is normal to many women, but you
should consult your doctor as quick as possible
because it may be due to some extreme weight
loss, use of certain drugs, stress, and mostly
pregnancy. Excessive drinking of alcohol will
cause damage to the liver and alter its
mechanism of metabolizing the hormones,
estrogen and progesterone, this might also cause
irregular menstrual period.


4) Color Of Your Menstrual Period:

Though It will never be a pleasing site to behold
the substance but taking a quick view in knowing
the color will do you more good. It will help you
know more about your health


5) Bleeding After Your Menstrual Period:

Bleeding after period mostly occurs to women
who take birth control pill. Women who bleed
after their periods should consult their doctor as
it is abnormal.


6) Total Absence Of Your Menstrual Period:

When these happens, confusion sets in and the
first thing that gets to the person’s brain is
pregnancy. Most a times the condition is way
beyond pregnancy but other numerous health
conditions including:

Brain tumors, Overactive thyroid gland, or
reduced function of the ovaries.
Birth control pills can cause absence of
menstruation, hormone injections, women who are
obese or exercise a lot are likely to experience
these.

Just patient and observe for some time as it
may bear information about your present health
condition.
