Are Your Menstrual Cycles Regular?
Introduction
The menstrual cycle is a crucial aspect of a woman's reproductive health. While variations are common, it's important to stay vigilant if cycles become extremely painful or suddenly stop.
Understanding the Menstrual Cycle
Typically beginning between ages 12 and 13, the menstrual cycle can vary based on individual and environmental factors. A normal cycle can range from 3 to 5 weeks.
How It Works
Menstruation involves the shedding of the endometrium, the uterus's inner lining, resulting in menstrual flow composed of blood and mucus. The process is regulated by hormones controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, including:
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
Menstrual Pain
Dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation, can disrupt daily activities due to cramps, nausea, vomiting, and headaches. There are two types:
- Primary Dysmenorrhea: Common and linked to natural uterine contractions caused by prostaglandins.
- Secondary Dysmenorrhea: Arises after years of regular cycles due to conditions affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. Causes may include tumors, infections, uterine cancer, or endometriosis (where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus), potentially leading to infertility.
Menstrual Cycle Disruption
Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation for six months or more. Stress, emotional or physical health issues, and pregnancy can cause cycles to stop. Hormonal contraceptives may also delay the return of regular periods after use.
Factors Affecting Menstrual Regularity
1. Ovarian dysfunction
2. Ovarian cysts or reproductive tract obstructions
3. Poor nutrition
4. Excessive exercise
5. Diabetes
6. Tuberculosis
7. Non-alcoholic liver disease
8. Chronic illness
9. Medications, like birth control pills
10. Obesity
