Best Answer

Yes, not having a menstrual cycle can be unhealthy. Your menstrual cycle is the single biggest indicator of your general health, if you're unhealthy your body won't work as it should and your body may also try to delay ovulation in order to prevent pregnancy at a time when it can't cope with that additional strain. Thus not menstruating can be a sign that there is an underlying health problem that needs to be addressed. Menstruation also has benefits such as decreasing iron levels in the body and reducing blood pressure, and the menstrual cycle in general has a major effect on your body physically, emotionally, and neurologically - we don't yet understand the full implications of not menstruating, but it can also effect bone health and risks of certain cancers too.

What happens when you douch while on your menstrual cycle?

Your menstrual cycle is your reproductive cycle, if you're a healthy fertile female then you're always on your menstrual cycle - I think maybe you mean during menstruation. At any point in your menstrual cycle douching is unhealthy and unhygienic: it changes vaginal pH, pushes harmful bacteria further into the vagina, and strips the vaginal tissues of lubrication.

Menstrual cycle is the reproductive cycle, if a woman is fertile she is always on her menstrual cycle.

Can doucing stop menstrual cycle?

The menstrual cycle is the reproductive cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes between the brain and reproductive organs - douching inside your vagina has no effect on your menstrual cycle what-so-ever. Douching is also unhygienic and unhealthy as it can change vaginal pH, force harmful bacteria further into the vagina, and strip vaginal walls of lubrication.


Can having more than one sex partner cause a woman's menstrual cycle to be off?

No, having multiple sexual partners has no impact on the menstrual cycle at all.The menstrual cycle is the reproductive cycle, it is controlled by hormonal changes within the reproductive organs and so sex does not change the cycle (unless the person falls pregnant). The menstrual cycle can't tell how many sexual partners a person has, nor would there be any reason for the menstrual cycle to change if a person has multiple sexual partners.
