Can eating raw papaya really help with triggering periods? - #22027

I am quite curious about something that’s been on my mind for a while now relating to raw papaya. So, like, I’ve been irregular with my periods, right? Sometimes I go for months without them, and it’s really frustrating. Recently, I’ve heard from friends and even some articles that raw papaya can help in bringing periods back. It was surprising to me honestly! I mean, does raw papaya cause periods like they claim? I’ve been googling like crazy and found mixed stuff. Some say it has certain properties that can stimulate the uterus and bring on menstruation, but then others say it should be consumed carefully because it can actually mess with your cycles? I tried eating some raw papaya in smoothies and just, like, as a snack, but I also don’t wanna overdo it. Since I’m not exactly sure about the amounts, I’m got kind of anxious whether it actually works or if it’s just a myth! Should I be eating it raw everyday? Or like, just in certain situations? And how much is too much? I read one story where a lady said it changed her life, and then another said it didn’t do anything at all! I'm kinda lost here with all this info floating around. Also, when is the best time to eat raw papaya for this purpose? Should I make it a routine or just eat it when I feel like, I guess? And if it doesn't help, what are some other natural options you guys would suggest? I know periods can be super tricky and individual, but any advice would help so much! Thanks!!
