Ayurvedic Treatment Of Amenorrhea
Introduction
Amenorrhea is the medical term which means an absence of menstruation. If menstruation does not occur at times when people normally expect it to, this is amenorrhea. Women who have missed at least three menstrual periods in a row have amenorrhea, as do girls who haven’t begun menstruation by age 15.It is not a disease, and it does not mean that a person is infertile, but it can be a sign of a health problem that needs some attention.
During the menstrual cycle, hormones cause an ovary to produce and release an egg. The ovary also releases the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen primarily causes the womb lining to thicken, while progesterone prepares the womb for the implantation of an egg.If no sperm fertilizes the egg, pregnancy does not occur, and the egg dissolves. The levels of estrogen and progesterone decline, and the womb lining falls away. It leaves the body through the vagina, giving the person a period.
