Peeps answered Thursday June 3 2010, 11:08 pm: Yes, it can be very harmful to your health, actually.
Your body bleeds quite a bit of blood and uterine lining out during your period. Because of this it will take a good week and 1/2 or more for your body to get back up to "normal" if it was "normal" to begin with. Sometimes we weren't "normal" when we started our period so it will take even longer for our bodies to health back up to normal health. You may FEEL better, but remember that the uterine lining must repair itself in between cycles.
Stress can cause your period to come early or late, but it usually only does that by a few days. Sex can also do this to a period, but it's really the stress of possible pregnancy that causes it to be delayed or to come early.
You should be having your period once every 21 to 32 days to be healthy. Any sooner or later than those numbers could mean you have reproductive problems and you should see a doctor so that the problems do not escalate. Many female reproductive problems can go unnoticed for quite some time and will result in complete infertility or serious illnesses like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
Getting your periods too frequently can actually build up serious amounts of scar tissue within your uterus.
There are free tools online to help you track you cycles like MyMonthlyCycles:
That way you know if you are definitely getting your periods too soon for your own health.
See a doctor, seriously, if you're getting you periods too frequently or too soon in the month. I experienced this myself and you really, really don't want to go down that road. It's very unpleasant and can screw up your future plans of having a family and stuff. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
