 Irregular cycles affect more women than previously thought. In most cases, this disorder in the system of ovulation suddenly appears before disappearing in the same way. Or it may also be linked to various diseases: diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease or a deficiency of estrogen or overweight or lack of female hormones. However, for other women, things look more complicated and the difficulty of knowing and therefore to assess the period of ovulation, make it difficult to find the right moment to make a baby and it might even be a dream that is not feasible for some. When amenorrhea occurs it's the lack of menstrual cycle for more than three months - there is a cause for concern. Indeed, the causes of a long absence of menstrual cycle could be more serious and have consequences on your fertility. The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (which affects 5% to 10% of women), endometriosis and osteoporosis are often the source of these problems. Menstrual Cycle Calendar A menstrual cycle calendar is a record in which you'll keep track of your menstrual cycle. It can be a journal with a page for each day, an appointment calendar with blocks big enough to write in, or even a wire bound notebook small enough to carry in your purse. Making Notes in Your Menstrual Calendar You want a menstrual calendar you can carry with you at all times, so you can make notes of anything related to your menstrual cycle. Things like: *When you experience premenstrual or menstrual symptoms, like backaches, mood swings, bloating, or fatigue. * The severity of your menstrual cramps. * When your period starts. * How light or heavy your menstrual flow is. * When your period ends. Causes of Irregular Periods Menstrual irregularities comprise various symptoms: • There is too much pain during the menstrual cycle. • The cycle used to arrive too early or too late. • The cycle lasts for too long or too short each time. • The amount of blood flow is too much or too little. • Menstrual irregularities can be artificially induced by using birth-control pills. Menstrual irregularities can result in the following conditions: • If irregularities persist for a long time, it may result in reduced fertility. • Emotional ups and downs usually accompany irregular menstrual cycles. A menstrual prescription should address four things: regulate the cycle, nourish the blood, strengthen the kidneys/sex organs, and reduce pain. No necessarily. Menstrual blood clots are usually nothing to worry about. In fact, in most cases, they are perfectly normal. A few quarter-sized, or smaller, blood clots in your menstrual flow just mean your body's natural coagulation system is doing its job. But, while menstrual blood clots aren't usually cause for concern, there are certain times when you might want to talk to your doctor about them.
