This article will inform you of three methods of treating irregular menstruation, these three methods are:
1)Herbal Remedies
Herbs are one of the most popular methods of curing irregular periods (and other ailments) because herbs have healing properties that not only treats a particular ailment but also provide overall well-being too. Herbs are safe and 100 percent natural. Herbs that are known to cure irregular periods include:
Parsley: good ole parsley! It can be bought at your nearest grocery store. You can use the dried up parsley to brew tea and drink 3 to 4 cups in order to stimulate delayed period. You can also use fresh parsley to achieve the same effect, just put a handful of fresh parsley in a pot of hot or boiled water and allow it to steep for about 20 or 30 minutes, strain and viola! It is ready to drink.
Ginger: this is a good stimulating herb, so it is advised not to use this herb right before bedtime because it might make you perspire, or it might make you experience a hot flash. Grate fresh ginger and boil in fresh water for about 20 minutes, remove from the stove/heat and allow to cool a little and drink up. You can also use powdered ginger if you like.
Please note people who have a history of gall stones should be careful when using ginger.
These herbs (below) can be used by following the above examples:
oRosemary
oFeverfew
oSage
2)Medical Treatment
Some people have a lot of faith in orthodox medicine and would settle for nothing “less”.
oHormone supplements: women with hormonal issues are usually administered hormone supplements; that is, if a womans body over produces testosterone, these hormone supplements will help these women normalise their menstrual periods.
oHormonal contraceptives: these pills are known to normalise irregular menstruation, however these drugs can only be bought with a doctors prescription slip.
3)Lifestyle Changes
Some people might just need to change their lifestyles in order to cure their irregular periods.
oReduce stress: avoid anything that will cause you to get stressed out. Find time to relax and take it easy, doing this might get your period back without fuss.
oSeek professional help: if you suffer from an eating disorder see your doctor, he or she will see to it that you get help for this problem.
Dont engage in strenuous exercises: a good exercise routine is good but if it is too strenuous and causes your periods to become irregular, it is time to take some time-out from those exercises, until your period returns back to normal.
