Sometimes bleeding frequency, pains during the menstrual cycle might be pointers to serious health issues!
The time of the month
for a lady presents different symptoms, bleeding frequency and more but
in most cases, they can be pointers to health issues.
From time to time, the menstrual cycle might come with slight changes which are usually caused by lifestyle habits, stress or downright indicators of underlying health issues.
if you notice these signs are persistent during your period, then it's time to seek expert help:
1. Prolonged/excessive period bleeding
Bleeding
excessively and for a prolonged period might be an indication of
fibroid which is quite common. A fibroid is usually a non-cancerous
growth that's found around or inside the uterus causing excessive
bleeding which affects the cycle.
It's best to seek expert help once this is noticed to have the fibroid removed as soon as possible.
2. Irregular cycles
Irregular
menstrual cycle might be an indication of diabetes! When irregular
cycles becomes the other of the day then it can be a sign of insulin
resistance which means Type 2 diabetes. It's best to have this checked
out by a health practitioner.
3. Irregular cycles might also be a symptom of PCOS
Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) may also present itself in form of irregular
menstrual cycles. PCOS is as a result of cysts in the ovaries due to
excess testosterone which affects the usual flow.
PCOS
can come with other symptoms including acne, excessive body hair,
adding weight amongst others. It's important to check with a health
practitioner as PCOS can lead to infertility.
4. Unusual light flow
Unusual
menstrual flow could be as a result of stress. It's also common amongst
women who use birth control or approaching menopause. If flow come
extremely lighter compared to past ones they are largely due to
stress/lifestyle change but again, best to check with a practitioner.
5. Blood Clots
During
the menstrual cycle, clumps/clots of blood come out at intervals but
are usually normal and harmless especially on the heaviest days of the
cycle but if they come out abnormally or come in unusually larger clots
then it's time to see a health practitioner to get/be sure of a clean
bill of health.
