How to Regulate Your Period

For many women, irregular periods are a problem. They are defined as any change in your regular menstrual cycle. Whether you skip periods or have them more frequently than what is considered normal, you should first consult your doctor to determine the cause of your irregularity. You will also want to consider how to regulate your period.

• Eat a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats and proteins. Make sure to get plenty of fiber and decrease your caffeine intake.




• Exercise routinely but take care not to over-exercise. Excessive exercise can actually decrease the number of menstrual cycles that you have.




• Talk with your doctor about birth control pills if you are not already taking them. Birth control pills are one way to regulate your menses.




• Stop smoking. If you are a smoker this can increase your chance of having irregular periods.




• Reduce the amount of stress in your life if possible. Learn techniques that help you to cope with stressful situations, such as meditation.




• Take a daily vitamin.
