What happens during the disease - absent, scanty and rare menstruation

Absent, scanty and rare menstruation is caused by an imbalance in the hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. this imbalance can be due to a variety of factors, such as stress, diet, lifestyle, medications, and medical conditions. in some cases, the imbalance can be caused by a lack of ovarian hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, or a disruption in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. in other cases, the cause of the imbalance can be more complex, such as a dysfunction of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. in any case, the end result is a disruption in the menstrual cycle, leading to absent, scanty or rare menstruation.
