How does anger affect menstruation?

Many female friends are actually very careful during menstruation. For example, I basically won’t eat raw or cold food, and I won’t touch cold water. But many people ignore their mood during menstruation. In fact, if you are often angry during menstruation, it is not good for your health. So, what effect does anger have on menstruation? You won’t know until you tell me, so let’s take a look below.

Causes irregular menstruation

Emotional changes and tension can affect the level of reproductive hormones. Long-term depression, sulking or bad mood may lead to ovulation inhibition and cycle disorders.

More prone to pigmentation

When you get angry during menstruation, a large amount of blood rushes to your head, so the oxygen in the blood decreases and the toxins increase. The toxins will stimulate the hair follicles, causing varying degrees of inflammation around the hair follicles, resulting in pigmentation problems.

Accelerate brain cell aging

When you get angry during menstruation, a large amount of blood rushes to the brain, which increases the pressure on the cerebral blood vessels. At this time, the blood contains the most toxins and the least oxygen, which is no less than a dose of "poison" to brain cells.

Gastric ulcer

Being angry during menstruation can cause sympathetic nerve excitement and directly act on the heart and blood vessels, reducing blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract, slowing peristalsis, and worsening appetite. In severe cases, it can even cause gastric ulcers.

Lung damage

When people are angry, they breathe rapidly, which may cause gas reversal, lung bloating, asthma and cough, which are harmful to the health of the lungs. When people are in a state of anger and depression, it may cause liver qi stagnation, liver and gallbladder disharmony, and liver pain.

Breast injury

It is also called breast lumps. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by emotional injury, liver depression and phlegm stagnation, phlegm and blood stasis in the breasts, and also by Chong and Ren disorders, qi stagnation and phlegm stagnation.
