Some women experience early periods as a result of certain things. It is important to know that every woman has a different menstrual cycle, and most women bleed from two to seven days. This article will look at 5 things, that may cause early periods in women. They include the following:
1. Engaging in hard exercise
Carrying out hard exercise can make you stop seeing your period, or it may become irregular. It is important to know that exercise may affect your period when you burn more calories than you eat. This can occur because, when there is no adequate energy, your body doesn’t produce the number of reproductive hormones it needs to ovulate normally.
2. Puberty
A woman may start to experience puberty from age 8 to 13. It occurs as a result of chemicals in a woman’s body called, reproductive hormones. These hormones that make a woman experience puberty may become irregular, after a few years of seeing her period. The irregularity may cause a woman to experience an early period.
3. Stress
When your body goes through serious stress, it can cause disorder in your hormone level which may cause irregular periods, and it may cause your period to start early.
4. Blood thinning medication
Anticoagulants are released naturally when you are on your period to help thin the lining of your womb, so it can move out of your private organ. When you take blood thinning medication, it can make your period start earlier and it may result in a heavy flow of blood.
5. Emergency contraception
This is usually taken to prevent pregnancy, after getting intimate without protection. It is important to know that emergency contraception pills contain hormones, that stop the normal way a woman’s ovulation functions. This may lead to a lady having an early or late period.
