Ayurveda Plants for Normal Menstrual Cycle
By Shankar.
The medical term for loss of periods or having irregular periods is ‘Amenorrhea’. Women who have irregular periods wonder about its cause. Normally menstrual cycle occurs every 28 to 30 days. However, some small changes in your routine life can affect the menstrual cycle and cause irregular periods.
If a woman is pregnant, periods will not come till she gives birth. So when you do not have periods for long, check out whether you are pregnant if you have recently had unprotected sex with your partner. Hormonal imbalance can also cause late ovulation that leads to delayed periods.
Stress is one of the major causes for delayed periods. Sudden physical stress and emotional stress can disturb the menstrual cycle causing irregular periods. You should try to give rest to your mind and body to bring your menstrual cycle back to normal pattern. Sudden drastic change in your diet can also be the cause for the delayed periods.
