Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask: If two women working together in an office have one with irregular periods, could it affect the other one to have irregular periods too? Because I remember that in the past, the women in our dormitory had periods that came around the same time. Now that we work together, her period is lighter, and my period is also becoming more like hers.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, women living in the same dormitory or office do indeed influence each other's menstrual cycles, causing their periods to align more closely. This is determined by the physiological characteristics of women. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
