    Severe form means either prolonged or profuse menstruation. Almost all women know what it is. Prolonged are those menstrual periods that last more than a week. Usually this means that the hormonal balance is broken in the body. In general, we are talking about the hormone estrogen, the balance of which, if necessary, can be restored. It happens that the duration of the menstrual period increases as a result of the introduction of an intrauterine contraceptive( spiral).The same can occur after discontinuation of hormone tablets, after birth, and before the onset of menopause. Any stress, irritation or changes in life, as well as the presence of fibroma or polyps on the lining of the uterus or some other diseases associated with

    disorders in the uterus, can cause prolonged menstrual periods. Therefore, if you have signs of prolonged menstruation( unless this is not normal for you), it is best to check your doctor again.

    What can help in case of prolonged menstruation?

Therefore, the use of foods rich in iron, such as bread, cereals, dark green vegetables, meat and liver, can partially offset the consequences of heavy bleeding.

    Absence of menstrual periods( amenorrhea)

    If, during puberty, the menstrual periods come late( that is, later than they should occur during adolescence) if the woman subsequently does not have menstrual periods for more than three months, this phenomenon is called amenorrhea( ie, the absence of menstrual periods).Sometimes it happens that the first menstruation in girls comes late. If she did not appear before the age of 16, this should be a cause for concern and you need to consult a doctor. Later, the onset of menstruation in girls is caused by hereditary causes, inadequate weight for her age, excessive physical exercise or lack of appetite on nerves. The true reason must be established by a specialist.

    If, in subsequent years, a woman's period does not occur for more than three months, the cause must also be established by specialists. The most common cause of this phenomenon, as a rule, is pregnancy, and later, in the postpartum period, i breastfeeding. It happens that the lack of i pustuations is associated with a deep depression, a stressful condition, excessive physical stress during sports, taking hormonal contraceptives containing progestogen. Of course, with the increase in i, women also have violations of menstrual periods. Usually it occurs in old age, when a woman ends her reproductive period. This condition was called menopause.11 Again, the true cause of amenorrhea should be established by a professional.
