DESCRIPTION

Some sports women, or who carry out some intense physical activity (brokers, ballerinas...) suffer, sometimes, alterations in his menstrual cycle. This is even more accused in young women, especially if his menstrual cycles are irregular of for themselves.

In fact, the adolescents who train intensely usually see his first menstruation (menarche) backward.

The expert doctors think that many factors influence it, including the stress and the proportion between greasy cells (adipocitos) and other cells of the body. The severe diets and the rapid loss of weight also can alter the menstruation. In these cases the menstruation is interrupted because, during the cycle, the ovaries do not produce the precise estrogen so that the endometrio proliferates and the menstrual hemorrhage takes place (to see Normal Menstrual Cycle).

Reducing the quantity of exercise or the weight, the menstruation normalizes in most of the cases. If this does not work, or it is not desirable to reduce the exercise or to slim, the doctor can prescribe the administration of estrogen to low doses. There is a good reason for this recommendation: if normal estrogen quantities do not take place there can develop an osteoporosis (degenerative illness of the bones that can give place to breaks and that is habitual after the menopause).

A common error in this situation, which is convenient to avoid, is the abandonment of contraceptive measurements since the absence of menstruation does not mean a sterility, being able to produce an unexpected pregnancy.
