Pre Menstrual Syndrome

Most women have about between 11 – 13 menstruations each year. It could be more or less, it depends. The menstrual cycle is often irregular during the first few years after the start of menstruation. The hormones that control menstruation may take several years in order to reach balance. Menstruation may also be very irregular at the other end of life, as many women approaching menopause have periods that are different from normal and clearly irregular, and final menopause occurs when the period does not come for a period of 12 consecutive months.
Some women suffer during their menstrual periods from painful symptoms. Thus about 84% of women suffer from some distress, fatigue or pain during the menstrual period. However, for most women, pain is a normal part of menstruation as a result of the release of substances called prostaglandins that cause painful contractions in the uterus. The pain occurs due to the contractions of the uterine muscles to expel the leftovers of the inner membrane of the uterus to the outside.
Causes of a delay in menstruation
A missed period can result from a variety of conditions, namely:
- Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period.
- Temporary interruptions in the menstrual cycle can occur due to a severe diet (diet) with severe weight loss.
- Women with anorexia nervosa will stop their menstruation completely.
- Malnutrition leads to a reduction and lack of oestrogen secretion and thus the ovulation process stops.
- Engaging in extreme sports.
- Extreme tension.

Use of birth control pills and hormonal supplements

Some hormonal birth control pills can even make the lining of the womb easier to extract faster. Thus, speeding up menstruation, however, this option should be discussed with the doctor.
Taking vitamin C
