Mood breakdown during menstruation

Women experience greater mood swings during their menstrual period. This is mainly because women often feel back pain and fatigue during menstruation, and excessive bleeding leads to insufficient qi and blood in the body. The body feels tired and the lower body feels uncomfortable during menstruation. Psychologically, women are more fragile and suspicion can easily lead to emotional breakdown. It is recommended that women go for a walk outdoors during menstruation to keep their body and mind happy.

One is the fluctuations in sex hormones inherent in the menstrual cycle. During the menstrual cycle, both sex hormones and pituitary gonadotropin will undergo a series of changes, which will affect women's psychological activities and behaviors through certain neural mechanisms and cause some emotional changes. Emotional changes and stress can in turn affect reproductive hormone levels and lead to ovulation suppression and cycle disruption.

Second, emotional fluctuations are related to cultural cultivation and social environment factors. Due to the long-term influence of traditional customs, women believe that anxiety is inevitable before menstruation. This is the result of cultural oppression of women. They always expect anxiety and depression to occur before menstruation. It seems that depression during menstruation is determined by both biological factors (hormone levels) and non-biological factors (culture, society, and environment). The two can influence and promote each other, causing women to experience problems such as depression.

It is normal for women to feel irritable during menstruation, which is often related to endocrine disorders and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. During the menstrual period, you can supplement vitamin B6 and calcium appropriately to relieve irritability by regulating the autonomic nervous system.

In addition, proper aerobic exercise can help cultivate emotional stability, and active participation in social activities can also relieve bad emotions. Music or movies can influence one's own emotions, allowing new emotions to cover the original negative emotions and gain relief. Eat more carbohydrate foods. Carbohydrate foods can increase brain serotonin levels and reduce negative emotional reactions. Women who become irritable during menstruation can eat more foods that are high in sugar and low in fat.
