What are the dangers of having an angry period?

The period mentioned here actually refers to the menstrual period of female friends. This is a more popular term. When menstruation comes, women are prone to emotional fluctuations. If they cannot relieve their emotions in time, it will also affect their health, such as causing pigmentation, irregular menstruation, breast damage, thyroid problems, etc.

When women get angry during their menstrual period, it can cause endocrine system disorders in women and cause the body to synthesize more cortisol. If this substance accumulates too much in the body, it will affect the normal functioning of immune cells, reduce resistance, and thus cause disease. Specifically, anger has eight major harms on women:

1. Pigmentation: When you are angry, the increased toxins in the brain's blood will stimulate the hair follicles, causing varying degrees of inflammation around the hair follicles, resulting in pigmentation problems.

2. Menstrual irregularities: Anger and depression can lead to liver qi stagnation, resulting in irregular menstruation, irregular periods, decreased menstrual flow, dark red blood, and even amenorrhea or early menopause.

3. Damage to the breast: Being angry can lead to liver qi disharmony, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and cause diseases such as breast hyperplasia.

4. Thyroid problems: Anger will disrupt the control center of the endocrine system, causing the thyroid gland to secrete too much hormone, which will cause hyperthyroidism over time.

5. Accelerate brain aging: When you are angry, the pressure in your cerebral blood vessels increases, and the blood contains the most toxins, which further accelerates brain aging.

6. Gastric ulcer: Anger can cause sympathetic nerve excitement, directly acting on the heart and blood vessels, reducing gastrointestinal blood flow and slowing peristalsis. In severe cases, it can cause gastric ulcer.

7. Cause myocardial ischemia: A large amount of blood rushing to the brain will reduce the blood supply to the heart and cause myocardial ischemia.

8. Damage to the immune system: When you are angry, the brain will order the body to produce cortisol, which is converted from cholesterol. If too much accumulates in the body, it will hinder the functioning of immune cells.
