I bet you, the first thing that
hits an average woman’s reasoning
will be that she is pregnant; even if she
hasn’t slept with a man all these while
she will zoom off to the doctor to check
her pregnancy status. That’s so normal,
very normal, even a doctor will advise you
to check your pregnancy status and ask
about your age after giving ears to your
complaint. That is because pregnancy
and menopause are the only normal
natural condition that can cease your
menstrual flow, all other factors
withholding the flow of your menses is a
problem and needs to be perused and
checkmated before it gets out of hand.
So now, you’ve gone for several
pregnancy tests and they’ve all certified
you negative. You still can’t see your
menses and you are not pregnant. You
are currently confused, freaking out
because you don’t have anything to hold
on to at this point of time, no menses and
no pregnancy. Sleepless nights sets in,
you think a lot. You will keep asking
yourself “oh my God what is wrong with
me?” Who will answer your question? Who
will come and tell you what could be your
problem? Assuming somebody can just
give you tips to open up your taps again.
You will feel relax and feel like a woman
ones more, after all what is a lady without
an active menstruation cycle?

Lets come down to business, as I
mentioned earlier, pregnancy,
breastfeeding and menopause are the
only factors that God has permitted to
naturally cease your menses. Yes, quote
me wrong if you can! Other factors are
just problems that have being caused by
several conditions you have exposed
yourself to consciously or unconsciously.
This can fall on any woman at any period
in time, it can be a meager problem or so
serious that will take miracles to fix. This
is why the knowledge of the factors that
can cause seizure in your menstrual flow
comes in handy. Other abnormal factor
that can cause seizure in your menstrual
flow includes:

HORMONAL IMBALANCE:
Usually one of the frontline factors,
hormonal imbalance can cause a woman
to miss her periods, maybe caused by
tumors in the pituitary gland or thyroid
gland problems. Some drugs that affect
the hormones can alter its functions and
cause confusion to the body’s
reproductory mechanism. Antipsychotic
drugs, Blood pressure drugs and mostly
birth control pills which can cause the
problem if stopped suddenly.

ANXIETY OR STRESS
Our body is very sensitive to its
wellbeing, any slightest change will
surely bounce back to disrupt its
functioning, this is the relationship
between stress and your menstrual flow.
Worrying about something for so long can
cost you your menstrual flow for that
particular month and months to come if
you don’t stop worrying and putting
anxiety and stress on yourself. Stress
suppresses the functioning of the
hypothalamus, (the part of the brain that
houses the pituitary gland and controls it).
The pituitary gland on its own is the
master gland and controls all other gland
in the body. If you‘ve being following you
will notice that we are now talking about
Hormonal Imbalance again.

TOO MUCH WEIGHT
We worry because of our weight just
because of two things, our health and our
physical appearance, but being
overweight has so much above this two
things because it can also affect the
regulation of your menstrual flow.
According to Maria Arias, MD, a
gynecologist at Atlanta Women’s
Specialists in Georgia, she stated that
basic cholesterol compounds in fatty cells
can be converted spontaneously into a
type of weak estrogen called estrone.
Overweight or obese women carrying
extra fat cells have “little estrone-making
factories, which have an estrogenic effect
on glands. This additional estrogen can
cause menstrual disorders.

TOO MUCH EXERCISE
Too much exercise to lose weight and for
body fitness can also be a factor that
causes problems in your menstrual cycle.
Too much exercise can trigger an effect
that suppresses the hypothalamus.

INFECTIONS
Infections can also cause missed
menstrual flows, some bacterial
infections if left untreated can tamper
with your reproductory system and when
this happens you shouldn’t expect your
menstrual flow to be as normal as before.
Missing your period 2 -3 times in a row
can raise a cause for concern, and when
this happens, seeking the doctor is the
best solution. Don’t follow assumptions
and advice from friends, just move
forward to your Doctor. That’s my two
cents!
