Question 7

how to get a regular menstruation?

Accepted Answer

See your physician: This kind of question really needs a face to face evaluation with your family physician or gynecologist.  Periods can be made to come on time with use of the birth control pill, but first you need to find out if there is some condition behind those irregular periods, such as thyroid disorders (very common) and irregularity around menopause, which may indicate a problem with the uterine lining.

Question 8

can i change my menstruation dates?

Accepted Answer

Birth control pills: Birth control pills can achieve this.

Question 9

what triggers menstruation to occur?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone drop: The trigger for menstruation is a drop in your body's progesterone level.    When you ovulate, the egg ruptures out of a fluid filled follicle on the ovary. It leaves behind a biologic timer--a temporary gland called the corpus luteum.  This is a temporary gland that produces progesterone for about 14 days and then goes away.  When it goes away, your progesterone drops and you have a period.

Question 10

why do i have frequent menstruation?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities : Bleeding more frequently than every 21 days is considered unusually frequent. Many women in their mid forties will begin to ovulate irregularly which can cause frequent bleeding. Structural uterine problems such as fibroids or polyps- even cancer, can cause frequent bleeding. If you are repeatedly bleeding more frequently than every 21 days, you should see your health care provider.
