Treatment for irregular periods

The following are some of the treatments to cure irregular menstruation:

Eliminate stress: Eliminating stress will help regulate hormones, which will lead to regulating the menstrual cycle.

Treatment of current disease or conditions: Treatment of the current disease may be helpful if these irregular periods are caused by it.

Hormone therapy: The menstrual cycle can be regulated through hormones such as estrogen, which are essential to stop excessive bleeding.

Lifestyle changes: One must adopt a healthy lifestyle and avoid smoking, heavy drinking, and drug use. Eating healthy foods and exercising moderately is also beneficial.

Surgery: Sometimes the abnormal periods are caused by structural problems in the uterus or by blockage of the fallopian tubes. They can be cured through specific surgeries. Uterine fibroids are one of the causes of abnormal menstruation, so it is important to remove them by surgery (or other available methods) to overcome irregular menstruation.
