I am abnormally irritable before my period.

During the menstrual period, many women feel inexplicably upset and easily lose their temper. This is a normal physiological reaction. Because women are more painful during their menstrual period, and of course it also brings a lot of distress to many women. For example, a few days before their menstrual period, they are particularly angry and have a bad temper, and they want to lose their temper when they see everyone. Why is this?

The monthly visit of "Aunt Flo" makes it a woman's good friend, but at the same time it brings women a lot of trouble. The series of changes in various hormones during the menstrual period affect women's physiology and psychology, thereby affecting changes in their emotions. Large mood swings usually occur during women's menstrual period, with bad temper and irritability becoming the main emotional manifestations during menstruation. Why are women irritable during menstruation? Let’s analyze the psychology of women during menstruation with experts. Why are women in a bad mood during their menstrual period? Women are inherently difficult to please, and even more so during their menstrual period. You can irritate anyone, but never irritate a woman during her menstrual period. Otherwise, you will definitely be in trouble.

It is well known that many women have mood swings during their menstrual cycle, especially before and during menstruation, when they feel very low, depressed or irritable. The main symptoms are irritability, anxiety, anger, fatigue, headache, breast tenderness, abdominal distension, edema, etc. They often say, "Bad luck is coming again." "Bad luck" is the common name for menstruation among women. What causes mood swings? The drastic changes in women's psychology during menstruation make many people wonder, and the reason is definitely something that needs to be considered from a biological perspective. Obviously the fluctuations in sex hormones inherent in the menstrual cycle are involved. Depression is common in women during the premenstrual period, menopause, postpartum period, and when taking birth control pills.

It seems that there must be some connection between sex hormones and depression. Of course, there is a lot of other evidence showing the relationship between mood and hormone levels. For example, women with dysmenorrhea may have immature psychological development and display a neurotic personality. 70-80% of patients with functional uterine bleeding have emotional disorders and problems with sexual life. This is because tension can promote abnormal activity of the autonomic nervous system, which in turn causes changes in blood vessels and heavy bleeding. False pregnancy is a more typical example. Women who have not conceived for many years after marriage may become convinced that they are pregnant and experience pregnancy-like symptoms such as amenorrhea, breast swelling and early pregnancy reactions. This phenomenon is due to changes in estrogen, but more importantly, it is caused by the contradictory psychology of wanting to get pregnant and fearing to get pregnant. Studies of endometrial biopsies or vaginal smears have found that patients with premenstrual anxiety have increased estrogen levels and decreased progesterone levels in the week before menstruation, while patients with premenstrual depression have slightly lower progesterone levels. Women's irritability during menstruation is caused by various reasons, and we cannot simply draw conclusions by looking at one side of the problem. It appears that both biological factors (hormone levels) and non-biological factors (culture, society, environment) play a role. Hormones and other physiological factors have a certain influence, which is amplified by cultural, social and environmental factors. The two can influence and promote each other, thus causing some women to suffer from depression. Women's psychology is always difficult to understand, and this is even more so for women during their menstrual period. They are irritable and easily angered, and if you are not careful, you will be bombarded with anger if you touch the minefield of menstrual women.
