Will the menstrual flow be less in hot weather?

With global warming around the world, especially the summer nowadays is really getting hotter and hotter. I don’t know if it’s due to psychological reasons, but as the temperature rises, many women find that their menstrual periods have become a little abnormal. However, I have never heard that hot weather can affect menstrual flow, so I wonder if it is caused by some reasons that I am not aware of. So let’s discuss, will hot weather affect menstrual flow?

The menstrual period may be delayed in hot weather. A delay of a few days is normal, but if it is delayed by more than 7 days compared to the normal cycle, it should be considered as delayed menstruation.

The main reason for delayed menstruation in hot weather is that the warm weather makes women easily nervous, causing irritability, which can easily cause the body's hormone metabolism disorder and endocrine imbalance;

Too hot at night can reduce sleep quality, affect the body's normal metabolism, and may also cause delayed menstruation; often eat cold food, cold drinks, cold dishes, etc. in hot weather, or use central air conditioning for a long time, take cold showers at night, etc., often suffer from cold stimulation during menstruation, which will cause the pelvic blood vessels to contract too much, resulting in delayed menstruation;

Some women have poor appetite due to hot weather, or they don't want to eat and go on a diet in order to lose weight. The body's fat intake is insufficient, which affects the body's production of estrogen and causes delayed menstruation.

Other reasons for delayed menstruation due to hot weather

Delayed menstruation is usually not caused by temperature, but in many cases depends on its own reasons.

If women of childbearing age with a history of sexual intercourse experience delayed menstruation, they should first think about whether they are pregnant and go to the hospital for a check-up in time to confirm whether they are pregnant. Taking medicines containing growth hormone such as emergency contraception, weight loss products, etc., urinary system diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian aging, or diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hepatitis, and tuberculosis may cause delayed menstruation.
