Stress and Menstruation
The Menstrual Impact of Stress
Stress can affect menstrual cycles by altering hormone levels, causing irregular periods, and exacerbating premenstrual symptoms. In the U.S., many women experience stress-related menstrual disturbances.
To support menstrual health, manage stress through relaxation techniques, hormone-balancing foods, and self-care practices. Addressing stress promotes regular menstrual cycles and overall well-being.
