Lack of menstrual periods in woman (Amenorrhea)

Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation in a woman of childbearing age. 2% to 5% of women are affected by amenorrhea.

This is a symptom of which it is important to know the cause. The absence of a period is completely natural when, for example, the woman is pregnant, breastfeeding or nearing menopause.

• the use of a hormonal contraceptive method. • stressful or emotionally demanding situations (New job, overwork, bereavement, separation, moving) • Certain medications • An unbalanced diet (Anorexia, bulimia, brutal weight loss diet) • Intensive practice of a sport (athletic training, fitness, etc.) or a period of excessive physical exertion. • Malnutrition, a lack of body fat or conversely being overweight can also explain the absence of menstruation. • Beginning of menopause   Whatever explanation you can think of, if you haven't had a period for a while, and you are sure that you are not pregnant, here are some traditional treatments to get everything back in order. treatments 1: Make a decoction of a handful of the leaves of Landolphia heudeloti in 2 liters of water for 10 minutes.
