It’s scary! trust me, I know the feeling. But why? Why do you have to go through another episode of body consciousness, avoiding white pieces and frustrating cramps. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be health related. Just being young, taking birth control and even overworking yourself can cause you to bleed more than once a month....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Let’s expatiate;
1. Being young:
During puberty, your body is in a strange land. You’re growing fast, hormones are surging through your body at electrical speeds. I’m sorry, there’s nothing you can do about it. With the high influx of hormones, your body is bound to get confused at least once in a while… just grab a heat pack if you feel pain. you’re gonna be okay.
2. Birth control:
An unexpected change in your period can be scary especially a week after unprotected sex. but, don’t be scared, it’s just the pills. Irregular bleeding is one side effect of emergency contraceptive pills. This is a sign you are not pregnant. After all, “Menstruation is an indication of an empty uterus”. But refrain from making ECP a habit as this may lead to other permanent side effects.
3. Stress:
Everyone seems stressed these days, especially with the current economic inflation and having to work 2 or more jobs to keep up a living. Then comes cortisol, the stress hormone capable of wreaking havoc on your overall health.
Cortisol stimulates high production of estrogen and progesterone in the body. This may cause delayed or light periods — or no period at all (amenorrhea) depending on how your body handles stress,” explains Dr.
Kollikonda. “If you’re under a lot of stress, you can go for a long time without having a period.” Try to find expressive outlets for your stress and if not, a good power nap once a day can set courses straight.
