Understand the Root Cause of Your Menstrual Disorder
Menstrual disorders happen when the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis – the delicate communication between your brain, ovaries, and uterus – gets disrupted. Hormones like GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone fall out of their natural 24–35 day rhythm, leading to absent, painful, heavy, or unpredictable periods.
Even small imbalances trigger a cascade of symptoms: fertility challenges, severe pain, mood swings, and long-term inflammation. Natural treatment for menstrual disorders addresses insulin resistance, thyroid imbalance, and chronic stress.
Common Types & Their Causes
1. Cycle Timing Disorders
Amenorrhea (Absent Periods) – No bleed for ≥6 months, Primary (genetic) or secondary (PCOS, extreme stress, low BMI)
Oligomenorrhea – Cycles longer than 35 days. Often linked to PCOS, thyroid issues, or high prolactin
Polymenorrhea – Cycles shorter than 21 days. Usually due to luteal phase defect or excess estrogen
2. Flow & Pain Disorders
Menorrhagia (Heavy Bleeding)– >80 ml blood or bleeding >7 days Caused by fibroids, adenomyosis, clotting disorders, or endometrial issues
Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods) – Intense cramps from prostaglandin surge Primary (normal uterus) or secondary (endometriosis, fibroids)
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) – Irregular, between-period, or post-sex bleeding Structural (polyps) or hormonal (ovulatory dysfunction)
