Does work stress affect menstruation? How should it be regulated?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the menstrual cycle of women is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian-gonadal axis. Factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, changes in the environment, pregnancy, age, diseases, medications, and nutritional status can all cause dysfunction of this gonadal axis, leading to menstrual irregularities.
Hello, it is recommended that you engage in more exercise. Ensure your diet is nutritious while focusing on light and simple meals, eating more fruits and vegetables. The key is to appropriately manage stress and maintain a cheerful mood.
