Depression during menstrual period

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon unique to women. The menstrual cycle not only reflects the changes in the functions of women's reproductive organs, but also reflects the changes in psychological activities and personal behaviors related to reproductive functions. Everyone knows that during the period of menstruation, especially before and after menstruation, women often have some abnormal performance due to endocrine imbalance. For example, many women will have more obvious mood fluctuations. There, what is the reason for depression during menstruation?

My period is coming soon, and I feel inexplicably manic. It’s all “PMS.” The "premenstrual period" that we often talk about actually has an obscure name - the follicular phase. For women who are not pregnant, the follicular phase refers to the period from when the egg is clearly broken (not fertilized) to the arrival of the menstrual period, which lasts about 10 days. At this time, due to the decrease in estrogen levels and its related regulation of growth hormone, a series of unsatisfactory conditions may occur, such as rough skin, edema, depression or even mania, poor appetite or sweets, and poor language expression ability - the so-called "premenstrual syndrome".

During the follicular phase, you need to keep warm, avoid caffeine, and avoid heavy makeup. Appropriate yoga or Pilates can help you stay calm. Eating more green leafy vegetables, whole grains, and dried fruits can help you relieve PMS. In addition, be careful not to stay up late at this time, and don't use irritating food and bad attitude to toss your body. An unhealthy lifestyle outside of the menstrual period can lead to a decline in corpus luteum function, and can also cause a series of annoying symptoms such as darker menstrual color, late menstruation, and prolonged bleeding.

If you have regular menstrual cycles but the cycle duration is shortened, or you have bleeding several days before your period (more than three days), it may be a sign of luteinizing deficiency. If the corpus luteum is underdeveloped, its metabolism will be poor, resulting in insufficient secretion of progesterone, which usually leads to infertility or miscarriage in early pregnancy. Anyone with similar symptoms should see a doctor.
