What is the norm?
If the monthly cycle is normal, then in its first phasethe hormone FSH prevails, the secretion of estrogen increases, the follicle ripens and the endometrium grows. By the middle of the menstrual period, FSH is minimal, luteinizing hormone increases, when it reaches a peak, the egg yields (ovulation). Further, the amount of estrogen decreases, and progesterone increases. If there is no fertilization, then the amount of all hormones falls, the endometrium is rejected, and the menstrual cycle ends. 
What caused failures?
Violation of the menstrual cycle is determined by:
- pregnancy;
- hormonal imbalance;
- abrupt changes in weight;
- gynecological diseases;
- the climax;
- stress;
- using hormonal drugs.
During pregnancy, the monthly disappear, and all the forcesthe body is aimed at bearing the fetus. With pathologies of the ovaries, pituitary gland of the adrenal gland, there is an imbalance of the hormonal system, and it is necessary to treat the causes of the disorder. If the cycle is broken, the doctor will definitely appoint a survey to help identify the underlying disease. The cause of failure is often diets, from which the body weight drops sharply. The production of estrogens also falls sharply (because they are partly produced by fatty tissue), which serves as a stress causing a disorder of the menstrual cycle. Here, in the first place, you need to establish nutrition and gain weight, then you can expect the resumption of menstruation. Disturbances can cause gynecological problems:
- inflammation of the appendages;
- endometriosis;
- polyps;
- chronic inflammation in the uterus.
With such diseases, the monthly ones are knocked down, tk. there is no normal functioning of the ovaries and maturation of the endometrium. At the age of 40 premenopausal changes begin, menstruation can become abundant and not cyclic. In addition to the drugs prescribed by the doctor to correct the violation of the cycle, foods with a high content of phytoestrogens (soy, grapefruits, flax seeds) are used in the diet, which improves the hormonal background. In response to a regular lack of sleep and nervous tension increases the production of prolactin, and the monthly disappear, tk. in such situations, the body experiences stress, initiating a menstrual cycle. Cycle failure is possible with the use of certain drugs and drugs:
- antidepressants;
- anticoagulants;
- tranquilizers;
- preparations of digitalis;
- corticosteroids;
- hormone replacement therapy;
- intrauterine device.
Cancel these drugs, as well as assign them, canonly a doctor. Often, women with a violation of menstruation are hesitant to visit a gynecologist because of fear of prescription for the treatment of hormones, which is not always the case. Having carried out the examination with the help of modern diagnostic tools, having ascertained the true causes of menstrual cycle disorders, efforts should be directed to their elimination. Then you can expect the resumption of normal menstruation, which serves as a "litmus test" of female health.
