Loss of menstruation is a very common issue among women of reproductive age. Women very often approach our experts with this very question.
Many factors can cause problems with the cycle, but in practice, we commonly encounter women who have lost their menstruation due to excessive stress. Since the menstrual cycle primarily serves for reproduction, if the body feels threatened, menstruation is often one of the first functions it shuts down.
If you are experiencing long-term loss of menstruation, we have a few basic tips for you to follow:
- Nutrition. From experience, we know that women often don't eat enough for the health of their hormones. If you are experiencing long-term loss of menstruation, focus primarily on ensuring your body doesn't lack anything. The value of necessary energy is very individual. If you are interested in how much energy you specifically need to consume, do not hesitate to book an individual consultation, where we will create a personalized meal plan for you!
- Combination of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Your body needs proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. If you are missing menstruation, try to find out if the main reason might be restricting any of the macronutrients, and if so, reintroduce them into your diet.
- Exercise modification. Exercise supports overall health, but sometimes too much movement can be harmful. Loss of menstruation and excessive exercise simply might not go hand in hand, and it will be necessary to slow down. Try to prioritize lighter physical activity for a certain period, such as yoga or walks.
- Patience. For menstruation to return and for cycle regularity, the body needs time. Therefore, don't put pressure on yourself and be patient, even if you are not yet where you want to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a normal period last?
A healthy period lasts 3 to 7 days. If you bleed longer or shorter repeatedly, consult a gynecologist.
Why is menstruation painful?
Menstrual cramps are caused by prostaglandins — substances that contract the uterine muscles. Magnesium, heat, exercise, or natural patches can help.
Are organic pads and tampons safer?
Yes. Organic cotton products do not contain pesticides, plastics, or bleaching chemicals commonly found in conventional menstrual products.
What affects the regularity of the menstrual cycle?
Stress, diet, exercise, sleep, and hormonal balance — all these affect the length and regularity of the cycle. Tracking your cycle will help you identify patterns and any deviations.
