Absent, Scanty Or Rare Menstruation: All You Need To Know About It

About

If you have big changes in your menstrual cycle, it is time to consult your healthcare provider.

Every woman may face scanty or missed periods at some point in their lives but it
does not always imply an underlying medical condition.

  • Scanty or infrequent menstruation can be caused by lifestyle factors like:
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Lack of nutrition
  • Inadequate rest

If you stop menstruating after a regular menstrual cycle, or if you do not start your periods by the age of 16, it is a sign of a medical condition which needs to be treated at the earliest.

Menstruation is a normal monthly cycle in every woman's life after puberty, and continues until menopause which happens over 50.

Ages affected – Females aged 15 to 51 years are most affected by the condition.

Symptoms:

Self-diagnosable
If the following symptoms are present, they indicate a menstrual cycle problem known as Amenorrhea and this requires a visit to your OBGYN.

  • Girls haven’t begun their periods till the age of 15
  • Milky white discharge from nipples

Treatment

Self-Care:
Strike a balance between adequate exercise, recreation and rest. Consume a well-balanced meal and lead a stress free life.

Medications:

medications and hormonal therapies are usually the course of treatment adopted in such cases.
