Healthy Lifestyle Habits

Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise routine can help prevent amenorrhea. Avoiding excessive dieting and over-exercising is crucial, as these can disrupt hormonal balance. Incorporating stress-reducing activities, like yoga or meditation, also supports menstrual health.

Control of chronic conditions like diabetes or thyroid disorders is essential in preventing amenorrhea. Regular medical check-ups and following treatment plans can help keep these conditions in check. Early intervention and consistent management are key to preventing menstrual disruptions.
