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!
