7 Effective Home Remedies For Irregular Periods
Periods could be really
painful for some, bringing along with it severe cramps, back pain, bloating,
etc. It is definitely not the best time, also for the hormones being very
unpredictable. The ovaries, which are present in the lower part of women’s abdomen, start to produce
hormones in girls around
puberty which cause changes to the lining of the uterus. Every month during periods, the lining of the womb is shed along with some blood. The length of menstrual cycle (the time between the start of one period and the start of the next) is usually 28 days; if it exceeds a week then it can be problematic. As then comes the issue of irregular periods. However, there are many home remedies for irregular periods that one can follow.

is a common issue in women. Many factors can cause this problem, such as eating
disorders, weight loss or gain, anemia, menopause, thyroid disorders, hormonal
imbalance, liver disease, tuberculosis, miscarriage, and other health
conditions. Lifestyle triggers like increased exercise, smoking, alcohol abuse,
caffeine, travel, stress, and certain medications and birth control pills can
also contribute to this problem. Irregular periods are common at the time of
menopause.
