Some time back, I sought advice from a gynecologist due to my irregular periods. I recall her emphasizing the importance of lifestyle changes. Initially, I believed medication was the sole solution. But, I soon realized I was mistaken.
After a while, I experienced weight gain (8 kg in 6 months), acid reflux, frequent headaches, and more. It was then I consulted a gynecologist in Bangalore who introduced me to lifestyle alterations that can work wonders.
Modifications Required in Your Daily Schedule to Eliminate Irregular Menstrual Cycles
“Lifestyle change” primarily encompasses:
- Diet
- Exercise
These changes are not just for addressing irregular periods or managing weight but also to rectify fundamental lifestyle flaws that have led to our current situation, be it PCOS, thyroid disorders, or obesity. It’s about correcting our routines.
Diet
Your diet should include foods that reduce Testosterone (male hormone) levels as elevated testosterone can disrupt the menstrual cycle. Hence, incorporate the following foods into your meals.

- Calcium and Vitamin D rich foods such as milk, yogurt, spinach
- Omega 3 fatty acids like Amla, Eggs
