Answer 1

well, it makes a cozy little bed/home for your baby to grow in (in your womb) and, if there's no baby then you have a period to get ride of it. then, after youre finished with your period, it (the cycle) starts all over again... simple fact of life...

Answer 4

When you don't have a period and aren't pregnant, the blood stays inside your uterus and with time, that lining (called the endometrium) keeps getting thicker and thicker until, if you don't have a period for months or years, there's nowhere for the blood and tissue to go but out. You can then spot for weeks or months, or have a super heavy period.

There is danger in not having regular periods (unless you're pregnant or using the pill/other forms of birth control to stop your cycles). If the endometrium continues to grow and grow and is not sloughed off by way of a period, it can grow 'old', so to speak and puts you at risk as you get older for endometrial cancer.

If the doctor thinks you're missing a period because you're overweight, then the first thing he should be checking is your hormonal and insulin levels to see if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS can cause weight gain, stop periods and can lead to type II diabetes if not carefully treated.

You can be put on the pill to give you a regular cycle or, if your insulin levels are high, put on an insulin reducing medication to reduce your chances of developing type II diabetes.

Answer 5

When you skip your period, there is no blood to shed.

Your body needs to ovulate (release an egg) in conjunction with the right level and timing of two hormones (progesterone and estrogen). If any of these three things do not happen, the lining of your uterus will not thicken with blood vessels, and break down (your period) and shed.

It is possible that stress, obesity, hormone imbalances and other conditions such as thyroid disease, can cause you to skip your period.

Since stress is the #1 cause, it's time to relax and not worry. 90% of all women skip a period at least once per year. If you continue to skip your period (amenorrhea), then see a gynecologist.

Answer 6

When you skip a period or become an athlete or an anorexia person the body keeps the tissue alive and may even use it for food. The fat thing is new to me but trust your body first then the doctor. I hope you make a nice baby. It is the society that ruins that beautiful part of life.

Answer 7

Your period is a result of the lining of the uterus thickening (due to hormones) If you are pregnant, that lining becomes the bed for the egg to implant into. if you are not pregnant, that lining is shed, ie your period. If you are not pregnant and you have skipped your period (which can happen if you take certain birthcontrol) you should really check with your Dr. to find out why . There are many reasons why a woman skips her period.

Answer 8

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/lyVXH

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.

Answer 9

I am unsure if you are serious or not. Your uterus sloofs off the outer layer and blood with it. It exits out your vagina. Some women will have clots with this. Some will not have alot of blood. It varies from person to person.

Answer 10

well it depends on why you are not having a period. if you are on the shot you uterus stops shedding and their is no "extra" blood because the hormones are fooling your body into thinking its pregnant.
