The first thing to do is to get a complete physical done with the help of your doctor. This should include thyroid function tests, reproductive hormone tests and a complete pelivic exam to rule out or diagnose any serious problems.
If there is no serious problem, making the changes described below to your lifestyle will almost always help kick start your periods and regularize them.
- Decrease the amount of refined carbohydrates you eat. Replace all proucts containing white flour with whole wheat or multigrain products. Eat lean meat and vegetables. Include a salad with at least one meal of the day. Avoid sugary desserts and beverages. Switch to a sugar substitute containing sucralose in place of sugar. Don't use any sugar substitutes containing aspartame.They are bad for health.
- Get rid of nutritional deficiencies with a standard multi-vitamin supplement. Get lots of calcium and take a fish oil supplement as well.
- Exercise regularly but in moderation. The key is to find a balance and neither be sedentary nor overdo exercise.
- Reduce stress through exercise, meditation, yoga and other relaxation techniques.
These are good lifestyle changes to make to improve all-round health and are particularly beneficial for menstrual problems.
