The high amount of carotene contained in papaya normalizes the cycle of menstruation. It also stimulates and regulates estrogen levels in the body and promotes the proper functioning of your uterus. 

However, remember to avoid papaya during pregnancy.

11. Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are rich in lignans (phytoestrogen), a naturally occurring form of plant-based oestrogen. Lignans may assist your body in eliminating extra androgens produced by the ovaries and balancing the level of female hormones, which could help your menstrual cycle become more regular.

Since stress is a causative factor of period irregularities, dark chocolate which works as a double-edged knife against it surely helps regularise periods.
