What to use for irregular mensuration?

Answer 1

If in your pre-teens or teens irregular cycles are normal.

You only menstruate regularly if you ovulate regularly, in your pre-teens of teens your body may not be physically mature enough to ovulate on a regular basis and thus why you would not be menstruating regularly. Changes as your body develops can have a major effect on hormones and cycles, plus teen years can be some of the most stressful - if your stressed your body may delay ovulation to prevent you getting pregnant when under stress.

If you're not in your teens it's best to see a doctor about your irregular cycles as it may be a symptom of a more serious underlying problem - if in your teens although irregular cycles are normal if you also suffer problems like painful cramps or severe acne it is also a good idea to talk to your doctor. Your doctor should run tests to rule out any serious problems, a good doctor will not try to palm you off with Birth Control as this will not solve the problem.

How to regulate your periods.

Assuming there is no underlying health condition, which may require specific treatment, you can help regulate your periods by staying healthy; eat a balanced diet rich in essential oils, maintain a healthy weight, take a daily multi-vitamin, avoid stress, sleep well, and exercise.

You can help regulate your periods by regulating your hormones, a good way to do this is with herbal treatments such as chaste tree, evening primrose oil, black cohosh, or dong quai - talk to a herbalist or go into a health store for more information, they should be able to point you in the direction of the best treatment for you. Another idea is to use Lunaception, this is a method of tricking your body into a regular pattern of ovulation by sleeping in darkness all except three days when you would sleep in light to trigger ovulation.

If your irregular cycles are a problem for you then consider using Fertility Awareness Method - this is where you track your menstrual cycles daily by recording your basal body temperature, cervical mucus, cervical position, and other bodily changes - this will tell you what may be wrong causing your irregular cycles (without expensive or invasive testing) and tell you when your period is due even when irregular. It will give you a lot more control and understanding.

Birth control does not regulate periods, this is a myth.

Hormonal birth control works by suppressing the menstrual cycle in order to prevent ovulation: no ovulation = no menstruation. The bleeding women get while on birth control like the pill is withdrawal bleeding caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when they go from their active to inactive pills. Withdrawal bleeding is meant to mimic menstruation but is not the same thing, it also only occurs on a regular basis because of the order in which the pills are taken - it hides the problem by causing regular bleeding, but doesn't regulate cycles.
