Common Causes Of Menstrual Irregularities by richardmentor1(m): 8:03am On Sep 03, 2015
There are many women who suffer from menstrual irregularities at some point in their life. The problem can significantly affect a woman’s life and if the condition is not given attention it can even worsen. Women, in normal terms, maintain a pattern of period that is ideally 28 days, but no one is completely regular. It can vary from 23 days to 35 days. But, women having their periods roughly on the same date every month are considered to be regular. At a certain age, the frequency of the periods fluctuates, making it difficult for the woman to track the date.
Menstrual irregularities are also called as anovulatory periods, this indicates that the woman does not develop and is unable to release a mature egg regularly every month. Women respond differently to the condition and hence, the menstrual irregularities are also of different types. The reason behind the menstrual irregularity can be divided into physical and psychological. The psychological reasons are not as common as the physical reasons.

Let us first see the physical causes of the menstrual irregularity. The hormones like estrogen and progesterone have the major say in the menstrual cycle as they are responsible for regulating ovulation during the menstrual cycle. The body of a woman requires a balance between these hormones and any kind of imbalance can lead to the inability to ovulate regularly, and this will lead to menstrual irregularity. This is the reason why maintaining a healthy body and hormone level is very important.

It is important to have a regular balanced diet and exercise on a schedule so that you can maintain a healthy lifestyle, and also keep a balanced level of hormones in the body. If the problem still persists, even after bringing about lifestyle changes, then you should try alternative medicines after consulting your physician.

The psychological causes of menstrual irregularities include anxiety, daily emotional stress and fatigue due to overwork. If these factors are not put into control, then they can cause an emotional instability leading to a stressed body and also bring about alterations, which can lead to menstrual irregularities. It is important that you take out time everyday to relax and relieve your stress. Find things that you enjoy doing and make it a schedule to relieve stress every day. Take breaks from work and relax completely without taking any tensions and worries.

There are also women who have a combination of physical and psychological causes behind their menstrual irregularities. There are also certain medical conditions like cysts and hereditary factors that can affect the menstrual cycle. In any case, try to being about some lifestyle changes. If these do not bring about an effect in your condition, then you should consult your gynecologist who can guide you well and also prescribe some medications to help you deal with the condition. The physical causes are more likely to affect the cycle, so first try to focus on your lifestyle and then if nothing works get medical help. For more : http://www.valuemedic.org/blog/
