Loss of menstruation is a very common issue among women of reproductive age. Women often contact our experts with this very question.
Many factors can cause problems with the cycle, but it is common in practice to see women who have lost their period due to excessive stress. Since the menstrual cycle is primarily for reproduction, when the body feels threatened, menstruation is often one of the first functions it shuts down.
If you are troubled by long-term loss of menstruation, we have a few basic tips for you to follow:
- Nutrition . We know from experience that women often do not eat enough for the health of their hormones. If you are worried about the long-term loss of menstruation, focus primarily on ensuring that your body does not lack anything. The amount of energy needed is very individual. If you are interested in how much energy you specifically need to take in, do not hesitate to book an individual consultation , where we will create a meal plan tailored to you!
- A combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates . Your body needs proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In case of missing periods, try to find out if the main reason could be the restriction of one of the macronutrients, and if so, include them back into your diet.
- Exercise modification . Exercise promotes overall health, but too much exercise can be harmful. Menstrual loss and excessive exercise simply don't go together, and you may need to slow down. Try to prioritize some lighter physical activity, such as yoga or walking, for a while.
- Patience . It takes time for your body to get your period back and your cycle to become regular. So don't pressure yourself and be patient, even if you're not where you want to be yet.
