Menstruation triggered by exercise?
489277
yes that can happen.  \n\nalso if it has stopped, and then you exercise vigorously a day afterwards, you can have a bit of spotting. \n\nif it is constant, see your doctor, if it is occasionally, just know when to not work out so intense. \n\ngood luck.

no, that's fine, and it's good to stay active. very thin women/athletes may get their first periods later. this can also be caused by an eating disorder, so be on the lookout...

People have been unable to identify a single cause of PMS. Theories range from hormonal and chemical to nutritional and psychological. Women whose mother or sisters have PMS are more likely to have it, so there may be a genetic component. A combination of genetic, physiological, and environmental causes are likely. Making dietary adjustments starting about 14 days before a period may help some women with certain mild menstrual disorders, such as cramping.\nGood luck with that.  I used to have them too.  However my mother told me that they get better afyter you have a baby.  I am not sure about that.  I am pregnant.  Please don't take the advices too closely to heart.  i am not saying get pregnant, every woman is different.  Try drinking chamomile tea. It relaxes the muscles and take a hot bath, as hot as you can stand it, but not for too long or you might pass out.\nGood Luck, we all go through that stuff.

All girls bloat up at the time of their period.  It is not real weight gain.\n\nYou must have easy periods if you can run during them.  Take a break for a day or two till the worst is over.  Then go back to your regular schedule.\n\nOf course all the running the world will make no difference if you do not eat a healthy fruit, veggie, lean meat diet.   NO JUNK FOOD AND READ ALL LABELS.  Just make label reading a habit and teach yourself how to eat healthy.\n\nNo fast food and should you go there.  No fried,\nhave a salad or yogurt with fruit or eat the burger without the bread.  NO FRENCH FRIES.\n\nKeep your portions to the size of a deck of cards.\n\nGood Luck on your weight loss.  I am also doing it, down 15 lbs so far.

I wouldn't be concerned right away, if that's your only symptom.  If you have extreme pain/cramping, or extreme change in level of flow, go to the doctor.  Otherwise, if it's just the timing of the cycle, watch it for a few months to see if there's a pattern.  Then if you're still concerned, go to a doctor.  That's my advice.  :)\n\nI know my cycle gets a little longer around the holidays due to stress.  Plus, some women just aren't that regular.  If you have a history of differing length of times, it could just be a symptom of that.\n\nDon't worry, not necessarily a tumor.  :)

As people have said before, stress but what hasn't been mentioned is that weight loss can do the same. I recently lost quite a bit of weight and until I gained it back my period came every other month. If this continues on to your next period its a good sign that you have lost too much weight and is your body's way of saying you have to gain it back. Whether stress, weight loss, or something else, good luck!

when you have your period you gain water weight. But when your periods over then you go back to normal weight. sometimes when i have it I cant button my jeans because of the water weight. to Avoid that you can get Midol.. good luck..

Ok I've had this problem before....honestly a little exercise can help bring forth your period faster. If you're not an active person...you can do something light such as walking or beginners yoga...trust me it really helps. AND If you're on any medication....this can be the real culprit. So if you're taking any unneccessary meds....stop. goodluck

Yes definitely.  Stress can cause your body to behave in abnormal ways.  It can delay getting your period, it can make the flow increase or decrease.  I know you mentioned that you are going through some stressful things but try to relax a bit.

you got the answer right there....why ask... alot of things can alter a woman's menstral cycle such as diet, exercise, stress weight gain and interactions with birth control.

Are you under stress? That can stop periods

Have you been exercising alot more than you ever have the last 3 months?\nHave you been stressed out the past 3 months?\nAre you eating right the past 3 months?\n\nIf you have been exercising alot more this might be the cause of ur period not coming this happens to alot of women who r very athletic.\n\nIf you have been stressed your period could not come. Very unlikely but it can happen.. and the same with not eating right.\n\nInstead of calling the doctor I would talk to you gynocolgist.\nThey'll no more about that than your normal doctor.\n\ngood luck :]

I've certainly practiced during menstruation.  I do avoid inversions (headstands, shoulder-stands, backbends) during that time, per the advice of my instructors.  I can't recall exactly how it was explained to me, but it had something to do with avoiding asanas that make blood rush to your head.

This is perfectly normal.  Sodas are not good for you in general, but they wouldn't have this effect on menstruation.\n\nYou answered your own question.  Stress messes with all your systems, and a woman's cycle is usually the most vulnerable and obvious.  You could have also lifted something heavy and this speeded up extra discharge for a little while.  That happens to me whenever I lift heavy things on my period.

I have found that this question of yours is NOT that unusual. When the menses begin...and each of them in your life is 'Different', there can be a starting of the menstruation cycle itself in a variety of ways. Much of this depends upon your basic health and regularity of your period, and if there is anything that is exacerbating stress, dietary factors, trauma.....these amongst many others can play a vital role in your period. The older blood is just that, and when the heavier flow comes out it brings with it the rest of this....often seen as brown and nearly grainy. Perhaps the thought of this in text is making you queasy and that is NOT my intention. It is NOT unusual for the body to start up....spot a day or two before hand and then begin the menstrual flow in its regular sequence or shall I say what is regular for you. You know your body better than anyone, and depending upon your age....other factors intervene. Age is one, again diet and exercise. Ask yourself if you're tired before this or perhaps amped ...we are ALL different. If there is a continuation of the more 'brown' or older blood, I recommed that you see a Physician....get a pelvic...for perhaps for whatever reason you might be a candidate for a D&C. Are your menses painful? If only periodically I have found that the comfort at home is warmth. Do not be afraid to soak...that is to bathe. This is hailed often, the menses as a curse, wherein it is nature's way of cleansing your uterus. It is important to at this point to say please keep your regular checkups with your gynocologist and allow your doctor to have a talk with any of your questions. I know that for myself what you have mentioned is in no way unusual. Please understand that you're NOT to keep from your physical regimen...unless you are tired..and please keep up your fluid intake.\nYour doctor will be the one to know and it might serve you well to keep a diary or small calendar in your drawer or medicine cabinet as to the regularity or the sometimes "I didnt quite expect this.." questions...all of this is important. As for a heavier flow, there is still no certainty that there will be a stopping or forestallig of the older blood. Please remember that it's your body and your own inherent body clock or circaddian rhythms dictate a lot of what is to happen to you during this time. I am not your doctor...this is merely my take from past experience and knowing many women who experience the very same thing. for now, I wouldn't worry, were I you, just keep track of this and see if there is any change in tha amount of days and flow. In conclusion, it sounds as though you are healthy, and don't rule "IN" a problem unless advised by your physician. Lastly if pain of any sort accompnies this, please inform your doctor for they can and very often WILL do a pelvic during your period. Should any problem persist, they will ( your doctor's office) refer you to a specialist if there is due cause. In and of all of this there may be the occasional fibroid or cyst. This is whyit is vital that you make and keep your appointments with your doctor.

Asthma and the Menstrual Cycle \n\nAlthough they don't know exactly how, researchers suspect that reproductive hormones may play a key role in the experience women have with asthma. \n\nA study conducted at the Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia of 203 women who came to the emergency room with a severe asthma attack found that more women had the attack around the beginning of their period than at other times in the menstrual cycle. \n\nEmil Skobeloff, M.D., clinical assistant professor of emergency medicine at the William H. Spivey Research Lab at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, who was the lead researcher on the study, suspects that the occurrence of these severe attacks is somehow related to the declining levels of estrogen at that time in a woman's cycle. This would mean that the days surrounding the start of a woman's period--when estrogen levels are dropping--may be the time when women are most susceptible to severe asthma attacks, he says. \n\nDr. Skobeloff first suspected that reproductive hormones might play a key role when he noticed that women are admitted to hospitals more often than men for serious flare-ups of asthma and, after puberty begins, new cases of asthma are more likely in females than in males the same age. In one study, 75 percent of the hospital admissions for asthma were women and 25 percent were men. This is in stark contrast to hospital admission rates for children with asthma. In the childhood years, 65 percent of admissions are boys and 35 percent are girls. \n\nFrom http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/62/9.cfm\n\nA menstrual rhythm has been documented for exacerbations of asthma, which may have important clinical relevance to the patient with severe asthma. We report the case of a 26-year-old patient with menstruation-associated asthma who showed a dramatic response to oral contraceptives. It was noted that falls in peak respiratory flow rate coincided with ovulation. We concluded that oral contraceptive therapy is useful in this particular group of asthmatic patients. \nPatients with menstrual asthma comprise 30 to 40% of menstruating female asthmatics.1 Although the relationship between progesterone or estradiol levels and airway hyperresponsiveness and between the menstrual cycle and airway hyperresponsiveness have been evaluated, no definite relationship has been described between each set of factors.2 3 4 While aldosterone levels may be related to the exacerbation of asthma, the levels measured in our patient during the follicular and luteal phases were not different, and administration of a diuretic agent (furosemide) was ineffective. Adrenocorticosteroid agents or hormone therapy have been used to treat the exacerbation of menstrual asthma. Oral contraceptives have also been used but were ineffective.2 5 \nEffective therapy using high-dose progesterone has been reported, and the response is thought to involve smooth-muscle relaxation and control of microvascular leakage.5 However, the risk of serious side effects potentially limits the use of high doses of progesterone. Because the exacerbation of symptoms coincided with ovulation in our patient, an oral contraceptive was given despite previous negative results.2 This completely eliminated premenstrual exacerbation of asthma. On the basis of clinical features, blood test results, and response to therapy, we speculate that menstrual asthma was due to a rapid fall in the progesterone level during the late luteal phase. Symptomatic exacerbation was observed soon after ovulation and was eliminated by suppression of ovulation. This observation suggests that improvement of asthma was due to the maintenance of stable levels of sex hormones and the disappearance of cyclic changes in these levels by administration of oral contraceptives. We conclude that symptomatic exacerbation of menstruation-associated asthma may be prevented by suppression of ovulation. Oral contraceptives are useful in this particu
