Causes of Irregular Periods |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Irregular period's causes can be divided into the psychological and the physical. Psychological aren't as common as physical causes; in fact, it's generally accepted that physical causes are responsible for irregular periods.

|
Anxiety and other forms of emotional daily stress, overwork and fatigue can cause irregular periods. If these factors are not controlled, they can destabilize you emotionally, knocking your body off balance and causing changes that can lead to irregular periods. Keep in mind that the physical causes of irregular periods are much more frequent than psychological factors.
Hormones like estrogen and progesterone have a definite effect on your menstruation since they regulate ovulation during the menstrual cycle. Without a balanced level of these hormones in the body, women are unable to properly ovulate, leading to abnormal (anovulatory) menstruation or irregular periods. This is why maintaining healthy hormone levels is important for avoiding and controlling irregular periods.

Treatment for Irregular Periods with MacaActive |
|
Irregular periods are mainly caused by falling estrogen hormone levels, which is a natural part of the aging process. Therefore, if you want to get rid of this undesirable symptom, you must restore estrogen hormones to healthy levels.
Today there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine, and drugs & surgery.
|
|
|
 |
Lifestyle Changes: This first level of treatment involves no risk, but may be the hardest way to go because you'll have to restrict yourself from many things. That's why most people consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating irregular periods in a safe and natural way.

Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for treating irregular periods: those consisting of phytoestrogenic herbs, and those consisting of non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are made of phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish hormonal glands into working more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones as well. Non-estrogenic herbs are thus one of the best and safest ways to treat irregular periods naturally.
An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal imbalance is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women, by nourishing the hormonal glands. In this way, it alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance, including irregular periods.  to read more about MacaActive.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest costs. The most common drug therapy for treating irregular periods in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to learn more about what this treatment option involves.

A safe way to balance hormones:
Non-estrogenic herbs are the most effective solution for treating hormonal imbalance and the associated symptom, irregular periods.
MacaActive, for example, is an excellent non-estrogenic herb. It's simple: rather than putting hormones from the outside into your body artificially, MacaActive stimulates your hormone glands into producing the hormones it needs naturally. This is what makes MacaActive supplements so unique. to read all about MacaActive. |
