Puberty and menopause mark the two ends of the spectrum of a woman's reproductive life. Puberty is characterized by the onset of menstruation, development of breasts and appearance of secondary sex characteristics.
The age for onset of puberty may vary across individuals, yet the start of regular menstruation before 8 years of age or delay beyond 16 years of age requires medical advice.
Similarly, in the case of menopause, cessation of menstruation before 40 yrs of age or continuation after 53 years of age is unusual and a cause of medical attention. Both ends of the spectrum of a woman's reproductive life are period of great hormonal, emotional as well as physical change.
Menstrual Irregularities
During the reproductive phase of a woman's life, menstruation occurs every 21 days with bleeding lasting 5-7 days. In many cases the cycles tend to be erratic at puberty and menopause. Any cycle length in the range of 25-30 days is normal.

Having monthly periods is a female thing, when a woman sees her monthly period regularly and timely, she stays in shape both internally and externally. An irregular period also known as "Oligomenorrhea," is when a woman's monthly bleeding is apart from the normal regular cycle, her periods are heavier or longer than normal. At times her periods might be absent or she would bleed between periods.

Causes of irregular menstruations are:

a) Stress

b) Extreme exercises and over exercising

c) Menopause

d) Diet

e) Pregnancy

f) Birth control drugs or pills

This article will inform you of three methods of treating irregular menstruation, these three methods are:

1) Herbal Remedies

Herbs are one of the most popular methods of curing irregular periods (and other ailments) because herbs have healing properties that not only treats a particular ailment but also provide overall well-being too. Herbs are safe and 100 percent natural. Herbs that are known to cure irregular periods include:

Parsley: good ole parsley! It can be bought at your nearest grocery store. You can use the dried up parsley to brew tea and drink 3 to 4 cups in order to stimulate delayed period. You can also use fresh parsley to achieve the same effect, just put a handful of fresh parsley in a pot of hot or boiled water and allow it to steep for about 20 or 30 minutes, strain and viola! It is ready to drink.

Ginger: this is a good stimulating herb, so it is advised not to use this herb right before bedtime because it might make you perspire, or it might make you experience a hot flash. Grate fresh ginger and boil in fresh water for about 20 minutes, remove from the stove/heat and allow to cool a little and drink up. You can also use powdered ginger if you like.

Please note - people who have a history of gall stones should be careful when using ginger.

These herbs (below) can be used by following the above examples:

a) Rosemary

b) Feverfew

c) Sage

2) Medical Treatment

Some people have a lot of faith in orthodox medicine and would settle for nothing "less".

a) Hormone supplements: women with hormonal issues are usually administered hormone supplements; that is, if a woman's body over produces testosterone, these hormone supplements will help these women normalise their menstrual periods.

b) Hormonal contraceptives: these pills are known to normalise irregular menstruation, however these drugs can only be bought with a doctor's prescription slip.

3) Lifestyle Changes

Some people might just need to change their lifestyles in order to cure their irregular periods.

a) Reduce stress: avoid anything that will cause you to get stressed out. Find time to relax and take it easy, doing this might get your period back without fuss.

b) Seek professional help: if you suffer from an eating disorder see your doctor, he or she will see to it that you get help for this problem.

Don't engage in strenuous exercises: a good exercise routine is good but if it is too strenuous and causes your periods to become irregular, it is time to take some time-out from those exercises, until your period returns back to normal.

Irregular menstruation-periods that are shorter or longer, lighter or heavier, with more or less time in between them-is usually the first sign our bodies give us that menopause is near. While it's considered a symptom of menopause, irregular periods are actually a perimanopause symptom that occurs during the years leading up to full menopause. In any case, since irregular periods can go on for six years or more, it helps to know what to expect and how you can manage your cycle

How menopause affects the menstrual cycle

As you'd expect, the crazy periods that come along with menopause are caused by lower levels of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. As levels of these hormones decline, your pituitary gland sends out more of the hormone that stimulates the follicles. While your body is busy try to get levels of these hormones to balance out, your menstrual cycle is caught in the crossfire.

Heavy periods during menopause

Estrogen and progesterone regulate the thickening of the lining of the uterus that's shed each month during menstruation. When levels of these hormones get out of whack, the lining can become thicker than usual. That, of course, results in heavier bleeding when the lining is shed.

You could experience excess menstruation this symptom for six years or more before your periods stop.

Missing periods and more frequent periods

Skipping periods during menopause is also fairly common. Many women skip periods for several months in a row, while others have one only every other month. Menopause being the individual experience that it is, other women experience the exact opposite: more frequent periods. Women with this symptom have a regular cycle, but the cycle is shorter than the usual 28 days.

Longer or shorter periods

Longer periods happen to a fair amount of women, too. Some women entering menopause find their periods going of for up to three weeks, although flow is usually minimal. On the other hand, you could get off easy and end up having periods that last just a day or two.

Watery periods

This symptom of menopause can be rather disturbing because while most of us have heard about the heavy periods and irregular cycles, having watery periods doesn't get mentioned much. It does happen fairly frequently, though, usually to women who experience heavy periods. While watery periods are usually nothing to worry about, if there's a chance you could be pregnant, make sure you don't have an ectopic pregnancy. If you experience abdominal pain, see a doctor.

Treatments for irregular periods

One of the simplest ways to normalize your menstruation is to make sure you're getting enough B complex vitamins, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. All these nutrients have been shown to help normalize the menstrual cycle. If you'd like to try herbs, black cohosh and chasteberry tree are good choices. You may also want to consider adding natural sources of estrogen in the form of estrogenic foods such as soy, cherries, and yams.

Irregular periods, especially heavy periods and longer periods are part an parcel of menopause for most women. As annoying as it is, you can rest assured that it will pass, although it may take a few years. In the meantime, you may to try a natural treatment for irregular periods such as herbs or natural progesterone.
