Although no one is completely regular, women usually maintain a constant pattern in their menstrual cycles. Cycles can fluctuate from 23 to 35 days, but they are classed as regular if your period occurs at roughly the same date each month. At a certain age, period cycles start to fluctuate considerably, becoming extremely difficult or even impossible to track.

Irregular Periods - Explanation

Irregular periods are also known as anovulatory periods. This is when a woman does not properly develop and release a mature egg every month as she normally should.

A woman's life can be significantly disturbed by irregular periods, and the problem can worsen if not given the necessary attention.

Take your time to read the article below to find useful and important information about irregular periods causes.

Treatment for Irregular Periods with MacaActive

As you have already read, irregular periods are mainly caused by falling estrogen levels, which is a normal part of aging. Therefore, if you want relief from this undesirable symptom, you must first restore estrogen hormones to healthy levels.

Today there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine, and drugs & surgery.

Lifestyle Changes: The first level of treatment involves no risk, but may be the hardest way to go because you'll have to restrict yourself from many things. That's why most people consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating irregular periods in a safe and natural way.

Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for treating irregular periods: those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own. This causes a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish hormonal glands into working more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones as well. Non-estrogenic herbs are thus one of the best and safest ways to treat irregular periods naturally.

An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal imbalance is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. It alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance, including irregular periods.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest costs. The most common drug therapy for treating irregular periods in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to learn more about what this treatment option involves.

A safe way to balance hormones:
Non-estrogenic herbs are the most effective solution for treating hormonal imbalance and its associated symptom, irregular periods.

MacaActive, for example, is an excellent non-estrogenic herb. It's simple: rather than putting hormones from the outside into your body artificially, MacaActive stimulates your hormone glands into producing the necessary hormones naturally. This is what makes MacaActive supplements so unique.
