Let’s be honest, when your period is all over the place, it can be such a headache (both literally and emotionally). Dah lah takde angin, takde rebut, tetiba je dia datang, pastu tetiba hilang macam tu je. Dah macam biskut orang kata huwaaa 😞
Don’t worry! You’re not alone. Plenty of people deal with irregular cycles and there are ways to help get things back on track tau!
Let’s see if your periods are irregular or not. Here are some signs:
- Your cycle is unpredictable
One month it’s 21 days, the next it’s 35. Seriously, can our hormones make up our mind, please?! If your cycle is always changing, that’s a sign of an irregular period.
- You’ve skipped a period (or two)
When your period just ghosts you without warning (and no, you’re not pregnant 😂), it could mean your cycle’s off balance.
- The flow is super heavy or weirdly light
If you notice your period suddenly changes from being really light to super heavy, or the other way around, it could be a sign that something’s off. Definitely something irregular!
💡 A little tip: If your flow is heavy, it’s important to use sanitary pads designed for it. Look for the following features:
- Size: Opt for a night/maternity pad.
- Material: Cotton is the best choice for comfort.
- Wings: Make sure they have wings to prevent slipping.
Pads like the LAURIER Fresh Protect Daun Sirih 35cm or LIBRESSE SensitiV Maxi Night Wing 32cm are great options for heavy flow! Akak Watsons approved! ✅
- You’re spotting between periods
Huh, spotting tu apa pulak? Spotting is when you notice light bleeding or brown discharge between your regular periods. It’s lighter than a usual period and doesn’t last long. If you’ve had this, it means your period is irregular!
- Cramping and PMS like crayy crayy!
If your period pain is way more intense and your PMS makes you want to curl up in bed for days, then there’s no doubt about it, your period is not regular!
How to Make Your Periods Regular Again
So, no you know, what should you do?
- Eat right
What you eat can seriously affect your hormones. Try to maintain a balanced diet that includes iron-rich foods like spinach, lean meats, and beans. You’ll feel better, and your body will thank you!
- Exercise regularly
Regular exercise helps balance hormones and reduce stress (which can really mess with your period). You don’t need to spend hours at the gym, just a 30-minute walk, a yoga session, or even Zumba can do wonders!
- Manage stress
Stress can really throw your period off. Find time to relax, whether it’s through meditation, deep breathing, binge-watching your favourite show or indulging in a pampering spa day, find what helps you relax! 😳
