Stress can indeed affect your menstrual cycle, especially for a young woman like you. Here's what you should know:
-
Hormonal Impact: Stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol, which can interfere with those regulating your menstrual cycle.
-
Irregular Periods: This disruption can lead to irregular periods, missed cycles, or changes in flow.
-
Other Factors: Besides stress, changes in weight, exercise habits, or health conditions can also affect your cycle.
-
When to See a Doctor: Consult a healthcare provider if irregular periods persist or are accompanied by severe pain or heavy bleeding.
Managing stress through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can help regulate your cycle. If you have concerns, a gynecologist can provide personalized advice and check for other causes.
