Menstrual pain in young girls is often severe and relatively long-lasting. Especially at the onset of the menstrual period, the pain usually is experienced as severe. Ideally a gynecologist should be seen at the outset of menstrual periods to determine if everything is normal. If normal, the aches and pains can be eased or cured by a cup of chamomile tea, drunk very warm, or with peppermint tea or even caraway tea. These herbs contain essential oils with antispasmodic effects. Rotate the three teas, if preferred. Prepare the tea: pour 8 oz.

   Extractions: Menstrual Problems Women should keep track of when their periods start and when they expect their next period; this not only helps determine pregnancy, but also helps women and their health care providers evaluate other reproductive health conditions. A number of symptoms surrounding menstruation can cause a great deal of worry. Most fall within the "normal" range of symptoms, but a woman needs to pay attention to all symptoms to determine what is "normal" for her. If you are uncertain, seek the advice of a health professional. Amenorrhea Amenorrhea is an absence or abnormal stoppage of menstruation,. In college women this can be associated with stress, sever dieting including eating disorders, increased levels of excercise, and illness. Or, it could indicate a pregnancy. In any case, if you have kept track of your cycles and know what is normal for you, you can help a health professional evaluate the missed period. Dysmenorrhea Dysmenorrhea is painful menstruation. It is normal to experience some pain and cramping as part of the menstrual cycle. If menstrual pain interferes with your normal activities, ask your health care professional for advice. While keeping track of your cycles, you might also want to develop a personal index that measures how uncomfortable you are through your cycle. If pain increases over "normal" for you it would be helpful for the health professional to be able to assess both the length of the cycle, number of days of flow, and intensity of the pain.

3. Do Menstrual Problems Increase After Tubal Ligation? - July 1, 2001 -
   Do menstrual problems Increase After Tubal Ligation? Tubal ligation is the most common method of contraception used in the United States. It is considered safe and highly effective.  
   http://www.aafp.org/afp/20010701/tips/9.html
   
   Extractions: Tips from Other Journals Previous Index Do Menstrual Problems Increase After Tubal Ligation? Tubal ligation is the most common method of contraception used in the United States. It is considered safe and highly effective. However, since the early 1950s, the existence of a "post-tubal ligation syndrome" has been debated. The hallmark of this syndrome is an increased risk of menstrual abnormalities. Moreover, results from one study indicated that women who have this surgery were four to five times more likely to have a subsequent hysterectomy; results from a second study showed that 41 percent of the women who underwent hysterectomy had a previous tubal sterilization. To make further determinations about this issue, Peterson and colleagues reported data from the U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization, a large prospective study evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of tubal ligation. The U.S. Collaborative Review was started in 1978 and included women between 18 and 44 years of age who were undergoing tubal sterilization at one of several institutions throughout the country. A second group of women whose partners had undergone vasectomy was added to the study later. All women were followed by annual telephone interviews for five to 14 years and were asked to describe their three most recent menstrual periods. Six features of periods that were addressed were duration of bleeding, length of cycle, bleeding or spotting between cycles, cycle irregularity, amount of menstrual pain and amount of bleeding. The findings from the tubal sterilization group were compared with findings from the group whose partners had undergone vasectomy. The primary outcomes of interest were changes in various features of the menstrual cycle.

The Importance of Regular Check-ups The experience of menstruation varies from woman to woman. Problems such as pain and irregularity are usually the result of natural hormone changes, and do not necessarily signify illness. Below are some of the most common menstrual problems. Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhoea) This is most common in girls or young women. Cramp-like pains are experienced in the lower abdomen at the beginning of a period, which may be accompanied by feelings of being unwell or faint. Symptoms usually pass after a couple of days, and rarely signal an actual illness. Usually, this is caused by a 'tight' cervix (the muscle at the neck of the womb), which normally loosens after the first pregnancy, and thus relieves the problem. Sometimes painful periods are caused by wearing an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) or by menstrual cycles in which no egg is produced. Lack of Periods (Amenorrhoea) This condition is normal during pregnancy and the menopause.

   Extractions: Menstrual Problems What to look for Menstruation occurs when an ovary releases an egg, at this time the lining of the uterus grows and becomes flooded with blood. If the egg is not fertilised, the ovary releases progesterone, which causes menstrual flow. This happens every 28 days until interrupted by pregnancy or ended by menopause. Menstrual Synchrony The symptoms of the onset of the period varies in each woman. As well as this your own period may vary occasionally. This is usually normal, but at times this can be the result of something more serious. The three main categories of menstrual irregularities are lack of period, painful periods, and heavy periods. LACK OF PERIOD Although sometimes is no cause for concern, can be a sign of an underlying problem. Menstruation may not start at puberty or for some reason periods stop during your adult life. If your periods have never occurred it may be hormonal problems, or it may signal (in very rare cases) ill formed or non-existent ovaries. If your periods have just stopped, it might indicate, that you have low levels of oestrogen in your body. Or it may signal a lack of progesterone. Of course if your periods have ceased it may also indicate that you are pregnant. Stress can also cause problems in this area as can Anorexia nervosa. Sports injuries can have the same effect as can ovarian cysts. Excessive exercise and very low body fat is also a cause.

    Treatment Issues Fact Sheet. menstrual problems in HIV Infection. What kindsof menstrual problems occur? Does HIV disease cause menstrual problems?  
    http://www.gmhc.org/living/treatment/menstrual.html
    
    Extractions: HIV-positive women have reported all types of changes in their periods. This includes irregular periods, more ore less frequent periods, heavier or lighter periods, more painful periods and a worsening of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Also, women have reported passing clots or menstrual blood that is darker than usual. The most common menstrual problem reported by HIV-positive women is the loss of their periods altogether. This condition is called Amenorrhea. Women who miss their periods experience pelvic pain, swollen breasts or hot flashes. Heavy periods can result in excessive blood loss, which could lead to low red blood cells or anemia. Anemia can make you feel tired, weak and short of breath. Since HIV infection itself as well as many of the medications used to treat it can also cause anemia, it is important to carefully look for this problem. Does HIV disease cause menstrual problems? It is not known for sure. The female reproductive system and the menstrual cycle are very complicated. It is known that female hormones (estrogen and progesterone) can communicate with parts of the immune system. It is also known that the male hormone testosterone may be lower than normal in HIV-positive men. So it is logical to guess that problems in the immune system may cause changes in female hormones that could result in menstrual irregularities. Studies of testosterone levels have been conducted in HIV-positive men. Men with low levels of testosterone often have muscle loss, weight loss, and decreased sexual drive. Testosterone replacement is available in shots or by patch. Men with low testosterone often gain weight, regain sexual drive and feel better with therapy. On the other hand, female hormone function has not been adequately studied in HIV-positive women.

    Extractions: Menstrual Problems Menstruation is a normal part of a woman's reproductive cycle. When an ovary releases an egg, it also releases the hormone estrogen, which stimulates the lining of the uterus to grow and engorge with blood. If the egg is not fertilized, the ovary releases progesterone, which makes the uterus shed its lining; the resulting menstrual flow typically consists of a few tablespoonfuls of blood and tissue fragments. This series of events repeats on a cycle of approximately 28 days until interrupted by pregnancy or ended by menopause. The degree of discomfort or pain a period causes, as well as the amount of menstrual flow, varies widely among individuals. Also, your own period may occasionally be heavier or more painful than usual. Such problems, while unpleasant, generally do not signal underlying disease. But you should be aware that the same complaints can sometimes indicate more serious conditions, such as endometriosis or an ovarian cyst The three main categories of menstrual irregularities are lack of period (amenorrhea), painful periods (dysmenorrhea) and heavy periods (menorrhagia). The following text explains these problems and what you can do about them.

The average menstrual cycle lasts 23-35 days (counting from the first day of one period to the next). Some women may not have a regular cycle (number of days between periods). This is normal, especially in the first 2 years after a woman's first period. Most women have their period for about 6 days. Some may have it fewer than 6 days and some may have it for more than 6 days. This is normal. Some women may have a large amount of blood flow while others have little. Blood flow can vary. It is common to have heavy blood flow at the beginning of a period and lighter blood flow at the end. Blood flow may be heavy one period and light the next.

On This Page Defense Tactics A Hormonal Balancing Herbal Help The Chinese Solution ... Supplements for Heavy Bleeding Defense Tactics To help defuse PMS symptoms Foods that contain soy A Hormonal Balancing Act One possible cause of cramps and heavy bleeding during periods is an unbalanced ratio of estrogen to progesterone, says Willow Moore, D.C., N.D., a chiropractor and naturopathic doctor in Owings Mills, Maryland. These are the two hormones that play the biggest part in regulating the female reproductive system. Usually, women who experience problems with their periods have too much estrogen and not enough progesterone in the one to two weeks before their periods. This imbalance can set the stage for painful cramping and heavy flow, along with other unwelcome symptoms such as headaches and mood swings. Supplements that balance estrogen and progesterone can make a big difference in how you feel before and during your period, Herbal Help Licorice works to balance estrogen, says Dr. Aesoph. It can also increase progesterone by inhibiting its breakdown, and it may help prevent bloating. Since high levels of estrogen can cause many menstrual problems
