What a Menstrual Problem Could Mean There's as much variation in menstruation as there is in women. One sister has her first period at 11, the second at 14. One woman is "as regular as clockwork," another's cycles fall randomly across the calendar. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Yet in most cases, this is all perfectly normal. The Menstrual Cycle Most women begin to menstruate between 11 and 13 years of age and continue until they reach menopause some 40 years later. Although the "normal" cycle is 28 days, there is no cause for concern if periods are spaced 25 to 34 days apart, since precise regularity is rare. During the "typical" 3-to-5 day menstrual period, the average woman loses less than 2 ounces of blood. The first menstrual period separates childhood from adolescence. Along with breast enlargement and the growth of pubic hair, it signals a young woman's sexual maturity. This monthly vaginal discharge of blood, secretions, and cells from the surface of the uterus is the final step in a complex cycle that prepares the body to conceive a child. Each cycle begins when, responding to a cascade of hormones, a dormant egg cell within one of the ovaries begins to ripen. Cells around the maturing egg release the female hormone estrogen, prompting the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to thicken in preparation for receipt of a fertilized egg.

When it reaches maturity, the developing egg bursts from the ovary and begins its trip down the fallopian tube to the uterus in a process called ovulation. The supporting cells left behind after ovulation then begin to manufacture another hormone, progesterone, in addition to estrogen. This second hormone fosters further growth in the lining of the uterus.

Z Let herbs be your medicine and medicine be your herbs ! Menstrual Problems There really is no such thing as a "normal" menstrual cycle. Each young woman begins her moon time in a manner unique to her and experiences it each month thereafter in her own way. There also may be changes from one month to the next. Some young women may begin their menstrual cycle one eventful month and from then on have a monthly cycle as regular as clockwork. This is no more "normal" or "abnormal" than the young woman who experiences her early menstrual cycles as sporadic and irregular. The patterns of menstruation are as varied as the women who have them. Some cultural traditions hold that women menstruate on the full of the moon; other cultures believe that all women bleed together on the new moon. The moon's phases do exert a powerful influence on the fluid bodies of the earth and on the psychic energy of women. Just as influential as the moon's energy are the relationships women form with one another when living in a community together. Often women who live in the same household, go to school together, or who work together share similar menstrual cycles. Menstruating women emit chemical secretions called pheromones that actually stimulate hormonal activity and elicit a sympathetic response in other women in close proximity.

For those that do suffer from PMS it can be a distressing time of the month. The severity of the syndrome varies between women and even from month to month. It is also known as pre-menstrual tension (PMT). Symptoms The most common symptoms are: depression without apparent cause irritability and anxiety tiredness tender breasts headache water retention feelings of hostility and anger desire for certain foods. Causes Hormone changes are probably a factor. Women on the oral contraceptive pill, for instance, often report a reduction in symptoms. The changing balance of hormones around the time of your period may influence water retention. The type and severity of symptoms vary between women. Self care Avoid drinks containing caffeine. Remember that tea also contains caffeine. Make sure you eat regularly. A well-balanced diet will help. You may find that having light meals more often is better than having a few big meals. Reduce your salt intake.

HIV-positive women have reported all types of changes in their periods. This includes irregular periods, more or less frequent periods, heavier or lighter periods, more painful periods and a worsening of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Also, women have reported passing clots or menstrual blood that is darker than usual. The most common menstrual problem reported by HIV-positive women is the loss of their periods altogether. This condition is called Amenorrhea. Women who miss their periods experience pelvic pain, swollen breasts or hot flashes. Heavy periods can result in excessive blood loss, which could lead to low red blood cells or anemia. Anemia can make you feel tired, weak and short of breath. Since HIV infection itself as well as many of the medications used to treat it can also cause anemia, it is important to carefully look for this problem.

Home Offers Browse Search ... Help Menstrual Problems and their Treatment The experience of menstruation varies from woman to woman. Problems such as pain and irregularity are usually the result of natural hormone changes, and do not necessarily signify illness. Below are some of the most common menstrual problems. Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhoea) This is most common in girls or young women. Cramp-like pains are experienced in the lower abdomen at the beginning of a period, which may be accompanied by feelings of being unwell or faint. Symptoms usually pass after a couple of days, and rarely signal an actual illness. Usually, this is caused by a 'tight' cervix (the muscle at the neck of the womb), which normally loosens after the first pregnancy, and thus relieves the problem. Sometimes painful periods are caused by wearing an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) or by menstrual cycles in which no egg is produced. Lack of Periods (Amenorrhoea) This condition is normal during pregnancy and the menopause. At other times, it may occur after use of the contraceptive pill, or it may be a symptom of anorexia. Heavy Periods (Menorrhagia) Some women have naturally heavier periods than others, but unusually heavy blood loss may be caused by use of an IUD, by small, non-cancerous growths in the womb known as fibroids, an infection of the womb or uterine tubes, or a hormone imbalance.

menstrual problems Why synchronised swimmers are protected from menstrual problems The physiological and aesthetic demands of synchronised swimming are similar to those of gymnastics and dancing. But do synchronised swimmers suffer menstrual disturbance to the same extent as female gymnasts and dancers - or do they have more in common with conventional swimmers, who are relatively protected from the 'female athletic triad' of disordered eating, amenorrhoea (absent periods) and osteoporosis? These are the questions a pair of researchers from the British Olympic Medical Centre set out to answer with a study of the Great Britain synchronised swimming squads. Seven members of the senior squad and 16 of the junior squad filled in a questionnaire designed to assess the normality of their menstrual cycles and also underwent a range of physiological tests. Analysis revealed that only three of the subjects were oligomenorrhoeic (with menstrual cycles longer than 35 days) and none were amenorrhoeic. The mean age of menarche (onset of menstruation) was 13.7 years. Mean estimated body fat percentage was 23% and mean VO2max was 47.2ml/kg/min. 'Synchronised swimmers share certain physiological characteristics with gymnasts and dancers, who have a high incidence of amenorrhoea,' the authors point out. 'However, they also share other features with conventional swimmers, who have a low incidence.

Join the discussion. Treating Teen Menstrual Problems with the Pill by Marjorie Greenfield, M.D. reviewed by Laura Jana, M.D., F.A.A.P. There are several reasons why birth control pills may be prescribed to a teenager aside from simply preventing pregnancy, and many young women who are not sexually active can benefit from taking oral contraceptives. Menstrual periods on the Pill tend to be extremely regularto the point where a girl can expect that her period will arrive every four weeks on a Tuesday afternoon. After a few months of taking birth control pills, the uterine lining also becomes thinner, leading to several changes, including milder menstrual cramps and lighter bleeding. I often tell parents that I wish there were a brand of birth control pill that was packaged as "cycle control pills," so we could avoid the implications of prescribing birth control and still offer the benefits that the Pill provides. The idea of having your young teenager on birth control pills may be distressing, but the Pill's great benefits often persuade many families to ultimately choose this route for treatment of their daughters' problems.
