Causes of Menstrual Disorders:
A healthy woman must have menstrual period at proper time. With this process, toxic and morbid substances eliminate from the body of woman every month and she is rendered healthy and capable for pregnancy. But its irregularity transforms itself in a dreaded disease and becomes a source of immense trouble for women. Faulty eating habits along with faulty lifestyle and thinking habits of a woman are the main cause of this disease. Due to intake of heavy, oily, spicy and fried food and absence of physical exercise food does not get digested completely and in turn results in the accumulation of morbid matter in uterus and intestines etc. When this toxic substance discharges from a female body irregularly in less or excessive quantity or is sometimes in nil quantity, the problem is called as Menstrual disorder.
