Stress and Menstrual Cycle:
- Stress can indeed cause heavier periods by affecting hormone balance.
- It impacts hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, leading to changes in flow and duration.

Physical Effects:
- High stress levels may disrupt ovarian and uterine function, resulting in heavier bleeding.

Other Considerations:
- Heavy periods can also be due to hormonal imbalances, fibroids, or thyroid issues.

View allcan you regain virginity and does it involve surgery what are the health risks if it does
While hymenoplasty, or hymen repair surgery, can reconstruct the hymen and mimic an intact hymen, it does not technically "regain" virginity in a broader, cultural sense. Virginity is a complex concept influenced by personal, social, and cultural factors, and cannot be fully restored through surgery alone

I've had this really painful pimple on my vaginal lip for about a week now, and it has pus. Any advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you may have a painful cyst or abscess, possibly a Bartholin's gland cyst, which can become infected and filled with pus. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an evaluation and potential drainage if necessary, and to avoid squeezing or irritating it further in the meantime.
