Abstract

The human female reproductive system is by far the most complex biological system, abnormal menstruation cycles is directly associated with type 2 diabetes and they have shown to be associated with cardiovascular disorders as well. The underlying reasons for abnormal menstruation cycle in Indian women is just not stress, birth control pills and or disease symptoms but signs of social and environmental factors are clearly evident now in form or traditional societal practices. This paper aims to understand the abnormal behavior of the menstruation cycle in Indian women.
