if you’ve been struggling more than usual with your period in lockdown, you’re not alone. we’re all experiencing significantly more stress than usual, on a global bloody scale. 🙃🙃 stress can act as an endocrine disruptor, which are chemicals that interfere with the production, release, elimination, and transport of our bodies’ natural hormones. they mimic our hormones and our bodies struggle to tell the difference between these and naturally-produced hormones. this causes overproduction or underproduction of your reproductive and sex hormones and can throw your entire hormone cycle off balance.
have you been experiencing heightened PMS symptoms or more painful cramps? stress could very likely be causing it. what symptoms are you currently struggling with? has your period or cycle changed in lockdown? ✨ #hc
