Can yoga help with menstrual irregularities?

Since yoga was introduced from the West, it has been accepted by more and more people in China. It not only has miraculous effects on strengthening the body, losing weight and beautifying, but also can regulate our women's endocrine system. For example, some women often have irregular menstruation, with lower abdominal pain, and sore waist and legs during menstruation. Or if your complexion is dark and you have varying degrees of acne on your face, yoga can effectively improve this situation. It can not only regulate irregular menstruation, but also ensure a good endocrine circulation.
