Does Fasting Really Affect Irregular Menstruation?

A woman’s menstrual cycle usually occurs in the range of 21 to 35 days and lasts for about 3 to 7 days. Reported by Muslimgirl, during the fasting month of Ramadan, there is a possibility that Mother will experience irregular menstruation.

There are several triggers that make menstruation irregular during the fasting month, one of which is hormone problems and lifestyle changes.

Causes of Irregular Menstruation during Fasting

Reported by the National Library of Medicine, there is a study showing that there is an effect of Ramadan fasting on the menstrual cycle. Here are some reasons:

1. Diet changes

During fasting, the frequency, timing and portion of meals are of course not the same as usual. In fact, the types of food consumed are also different, you know, Bun. That way, a person will experience changes in body weight on him. This is one of the causes of irregular menstrual cycles.

2. Sleep hours change

During the month of Ramadan, of course Mother needs to get up early around 2-3 in the morning to prepare for sahur. This of course can disrupt your sleep schedule or affect your sleeping hours. It turns out that changing the hours of sleep can make the menstrual cycle irregular.

3. Daily activities change

Not only eating patterns and sleeping hours, changes in daily activities in the month of Ramadan can also affect the menstrual cycle. For example, if you usually like to exercise, but during fasting you become less active in exercising.

How to Overcome Irregular Menstruation during Fasting

1. Consume healthy food

During the fasting month of Ramadan, most people usually eat fried and other unhealthy foods as appetizers. Consumption of fast food, processed foods, and other unhealthy foods can cause hormonal imbalances in the body and can lead to irregular menstruation.

Therefore, make sure Mother eats foods that include green vegetables, fruits, red meat, fish and other good nutritious foods.

2. Take vitamin supplements

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with irregular menstruation. For this reason, it is important for Mothers to have enough vitamin D so that menstruation returns regularly.

In addition, vitamin D also has many other benefits, including reducing the risk of certain diseases, helping you lose weight, and reducing depression.

3. Get enough rest

Even though you need to adjust when you wake up at dawn, you can make sure your body gets enough rest by going to bed earlier at night. This is because, physical stress or lack of rest in the body can be a cause of disrupted menstrual cycles.

4. Exercise regularly

Even though you’re fasting, Mother can still do sports, you know. Do light exercise if you can afford it while fasting.
