How to Maintain a Regular Menstrual cycle

Get enough sleep: According to a study published in the journal PLOS One, if you maintain a good sleep routine, your menstrual cycle will be more regular, and reproductive health will also be better.

Healthy diet: To have a regular menstrual cycle, you need to focus on your diet. Try to include all the essential vitamins and minerals in your diet to control your body's hormones.

Exercise: To regulate your cycle, pay attention to moving your body. A study in the Journal of Education and Health Promotion shows that regular exercise can help avoid obesity and maintain hormonal balance, leading to a regular menstrual cycle.

Some reasons for shorter menstrual cycles than usual

Stress: Stress is one of the biggest causes of shorter menstrual cycles. High levels of stress negatively affect hormones, causing the menstrual cycle to last only a few days. A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research said that women who are stressed are more likely to have shorter menstrual cycles than normal.

Overtraining: To get the desired figure, many women have done high-intensity exercises with a strict exercise schedule, overtraining can hinder the release of ovulation control hormones, leading to shorter periods.

Diseases: Diseases such as polycystic ovary, thyroid, tuberculosis and some sexually transmitted diseases are also the cause of shorter menstrual cycles. PCOS can lead to weight gain and mood swings, causing irregular periods.
