Period Puzzles: Investigating 5 Factors That May Disrupt Your Cycle
Find out the surprising factors that might be behind your period's unpredictable dance: and discover a targeted natural solution for period regularity.
Regular VS Irregular
Other than the exception of pregnancy and menopause, a normal menstrual cycle occurs roughly every 21 to 35 days, with bleeding that lasts between 3 to 7 days. If your periods:
- are less than 21 days apart/more than 35 days apart
- have been missing for more than 3 months
- are suddenly much lighter/heavier than usual
- last for more than 7 days
- are accompanied by severe pain, cramping, nausea or vomiting
- include spotting in between cycles,
then you are likely experiencing irregular periods, which could be an outward sign of a deeper, physical or even emotional issue. Irregular periods can be frustrating and worrisome, but understanding the potential reasons can help you approach the situation with a sense of empowerment and proactively seek the right ways to treat the root causes.
The Primary Root Cause: Hormonal Imbalance
The menstrual cycle is orchestrated by a delicate interplay of hormones, primarily reproductive hormones (luteinizing hormones, also known as LH; and follicle-stimulating hormones, also known as FSH). The other set of hormones that regulates a menstrual cycle are the sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone). Both sets of hormones are pivotal for ovulation and overall reproductive health, being responsible for the growing and shedding of the uterine lining. When the balance of these hormones is disrupted, it can lead to irregularities in the timing, duration, and flow of your periods, which can result in severe health consequences in the future.
Let's delve deeper into how hormonal imbalances occur and result in irregular periods:
1. Stress
2. Low-Fat Diet
3. Over-Exercising
4. Birth Control
5. Other Hormonal Conditions
