How to prevent menstruation?
If the examination does not reveal any deviations in health, you can help yourself to establish a regular menstrual cycle:
In the last 10 days before the start of the proposed menstruation, take an hour after breakfast 0.4 g of vitamin E( tocopherol), stimulating the function of the ovaries. If you can, stay on your head: this activates blood circulation in the pelvic organs and stimulates uterine bleeding due to postural( caused by the position of the body) drainage. A similar effect is given by exercises like "birches";
In anticipation of menstruation, actively indulge in the pleasures of love and as often as possible achieve an orgasm: it causes reflex contraction of the uterus and may well provoke the beginning of another menstruation. This is useful in any case: a rich sex life relieves premenstrual tension and unpleasant sensations during menstruation;
Always sleep in absolute darkness and only in the last 3 days of your menstrual cycle artificially create a full moon effect. Include a weak( 15 W) night light next to the bed or a dim( 40 W) light in the hallway, leaving the bedroom door open. Some experts on biorhythms call this the full moon effect, but in fact such manipulations we reduce the level of prolactin, which is produced more at night and in the dark.
During a period of great mental stress, when you do not have enough sleep and spend more than 6 hours a day sitting at a computer, strengthen the nourishment for the brain( along with the ovaries and the uterus, it is also responsible for the menstrual function).Take supplements that include B vitamins, lecithin, glutamic acid, ginkgohilob extract, Gotu kola extract, coenzyme Q10( only for women of the age), trace elements - magnesium, copper, zinc, chromium;
Sit on a low-fat diet and in any ways try to lose weight? Wait for the delay. After all, the sex hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle are produced from cholesterol, which is simply not present in fat-free foods. And 15% of estrogens( the main female hormones) is formed in the subcutaneous adipose tissue. The desire to sharply reduce the fat reserves of the body reduces their number and makes the monthly rarer, meager and painful. With severe diets and intensive sports, you must take extra fish oil, vitamin E, flaxseed oil, phytoestrogens, brewer's yeast, trace elements - iron, calcium, selenium, iodine;
Some medicines are also capable of breaking the menstrual cycle. These are antidepressants, antiulcer drugs, Thai pills and other means for losing weight, antihistamines( from allergies), hormones.
