Lack of menstruation
What are the consequences of not having your period?
- Slowing growth
- It promotes the appearance of ovarian cysts, known as polycystic ovaries (which is not the same as polycystic ovary syndrome).
- Increased body hair in areas typically seen in boys
- Risk of suffering bone fractures at premature ages.
- Loss of libido
- Risk of unwanted pregnancy when menstruation does not occur, but ovulation continues.
- Impaired immune system
- Mood disorder
When menstruation is absent, the hormonal balance of the ovaries is altered, favoring ovarian cysts . At the same time, dietary imbalance disrupts the gut flora , which also responds to neuro-hormonal signals (serotonin, ghrelin, and others), so when this is altered, not only physical aspects (constipation, gas) are affected, but also, indirectly, emotional aspects (mood).
