Missing Menstrual Cycles - Why It Matters? Episode 45 with Michelle Lyons

Why do periods go missing? (and why it matters?!) In part 1 of this mini-series, we talked about de-mystifying the menstrual cycle and in part 2, I covered period pain management, and here in part 3, I want to explore missing menstrual cycles and the implications, for both performance and health In this episode, I talk about: Different causes of amenorrhea including POI, PCOS and REDs Recognising the signs & symptoms of each the implications for bone health, muscle function & recurrent injuries The pelvic health implications - from new onset urinary incontinence, to postnatal recovery and fertility Understanding at risk populations and recognising REDs patterns Why menstruation is the 5th vital sign what the research says...and more! I've been taking a deep dive into the intersection of pelvic, hormonal and musculoskeletal health for female athletes - what we now know, what isn't widely known and putting all the pieces together from an evidence based AND clinically relevant perspective for rehab pro's - so there <may> be a new course coming this autumn!
