Stress Impact on Menstrual Cycle
The article explains that severe and ongoing stress can affect the regularity of the menstrual cycle by increasing the production of cortisol, which causes hormonal imbalances in the ovaries, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland. This disruption may lead to delayed or missed ovulation and result in changes in the duration and intensity of the cycle for some women. Normal cycle patterns can often be restored by reducing stress and regaining hormonal balance, but sometimes it is necessary to investigate other causes such as pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid disorders, or elevated prolactin levels. It is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including sufficient sleep, a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and relaxation techniques to support a regular cycle.
