Menstruating Twice or More a Month – Is Something Wrong With Me?

Index

Every woman is already waiting for the monthly visit of menstruation , if she does not come it is a sign that something different is happening in the body. Pregnancy, hormonal lack of control or a health problem? But what about when you menstruate twice or more in the month, will it be normal?

The menstrual cycle usually lasts an average of 28 days starting to be counted on the first day that menstruation comes until one day before the next menstruation. Analyzing by this count, it is natural for women to menstruate only once a month . But there are women who have a shorter menstrual cycle and can receive a double visit monthly in the month. For example, if you have a 26-day cycle, you will menstruate at the beginning of the month and at the end of it.

The woman’s reproductive system works through cycles every month to produce eggs, eliminate them and prepare the body for pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur on average 14 days after ovulation, menstruation occurs. So if you have a short cycle it is normal to menstruate more often as long as the duration is also regulated.

If your cycle is normal for 28 days and your menstruation is unregulated, falling more often than usual, it may be happening due to other factors such as:

  • Use of birth control pills – At the beginning of the use of birth control pills until the body is regulated with hormones, menstrual escapes may occur. If you have been taking it for a few months and it is still happening, it may be that the dosage of the type of pill you are taking is not suitable for your body or that you have forgotten to take a few days.
  • Low progesterone level – The menstrual cycle is totally linked to the levels of progesterone in the female body. When your levels go down, the body understands that it is time to menstruate, so when progesterone is deregulated, the cycle can become messy also because the reproductive system does not receive the warning of when to stop menstruation.
  • Fibroids – The fibroids are benign tumors of muscle and compounds that can appear both inside and outside the uterus uterine changing over time to form and grow. Women who have fibroids may experience irregular menstruation and bleeding out of time between periods. 

IMPORTANT: Women who use the injectable contraceptive may leak during the cycle, but you must count the scheduled date of the day of menstruation. The use must not be interrupted and its date should not be rescheduled.

Problems with stress, polycystic ovaries , cyst in the ovary , use of some medications and after sterilization can be a symptom of the woman menstruating twice or more in the month. Each case must be evaluated in isolation by your doctor and all hypotheses discarded in order to find the ideal treatment.

How to Regularize Menstruation to 1 Once a Month?

First, it is essential to seek a gynecologist to inform you about the situation. If the woman’s menstruating twice or more is the result of a medication, a replacement or suspension of the medication may be considered . If it is a symptom of a disease, the diagnosis is essential to refer to the appropriate treatment and thus regularize the menstrual cycle as soon as possible.

Usually for unregulated cycles, the gynecologist may prescribe the use of birth control pills to regulate and balance hormone levels. Each case must be evaluated in parallel and the use of contraceptives can be based on estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.

One way to regulate the cycle naturally is through the consumption of yams, which one of its actions is to control hormone levels and thereby regulate the cycle naturally. For women who do not like yam or do not consume it at all meals, there is the option of yam capsules that make it easier on a daily basis. You can purchase the Famivita yam capsules here in our online store.

So if you have a normal cycle of 28 days or more and you have menstruated once a month and now you are having unexpected visits 2 or more times in the same month, see your gynecologist. Through more detailed exams it will be possible to investigate and find the cause and treat in order to regularize your cycle again. But if you have a short cycle and menstruate at the beginning and end of the month, rest assured you have no health problems.
