In fact, most women experience these premenstrual symptoms, and the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association has already given a diagnosis called "premenstrual dysthymia (PMS)" , to describe a series of unpleasant symptoms of anxiety, irritability, and physical discomfort that we experienced a week or so before our relatives’ visit. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists estimates that 85 percent of women experience at least one related symptom each month.
Hormone levels in a woman's body are constantly changing, affecting our mood and behavior throughout the menstrual cycle, and of course, "exercise" is also included in it. Therefore, for everyone's "happy life", we need to figure out the barometer of our own body.
good mood follicular phase
The follicular phase begins the day the aunt leaves and lasts about 10-12 days.
During this time, follicle-stimulating hormone is secreted in large quantities, stimulating the production of follicles in the ovaries and causing some of these follicles to develop into eggs. In addition, the follicles also secrete more estradiol, the main function of which is to promote endometrial hyperplasia and to promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics (eg, breasts).
But more importantly, elevated estradiol levels also keep people happy. As long as it is not particularly uncomfortable "exercise" behavior, it will be accepted with great interest.
This time is your happy hour of the month. At this stage you will feel energized, in a particularly good mood, and have more creative ideas.
horny ovulation
During ovulation, the level of a hormone called luteinizing hormone in the body rises significantly. The increase in luteinizing hormone promotes the release of an egg from the ovary and drives the egg into the fallopian tube for fertilization. At the same time, estradiol hormone levels become very high during this phase, and it interacts with other hormones such as insulin, resulting in increased desire.
Estradiol makes the effects of insulin more pronounced, and insulin causes the body to release more testosterone, one of the important hormones that regulates the body's impulses.
Some experts speculate that this may be the most essential way to promote "exercise" for women during their reproductive years, so it is necessary to ask your partner to help you remember the cycle, not to remember which days are not suitable" exercise", but remember that there are days when you need to "exercise" hard.
Don't mess with my luteal phase
After ovulation, the follicle that once held the egg becomes empty, but it doesn't intend to give itself a vacation. The restless follicles begin to secrete the hormone progesterone to thicken the uterine lining in preparation for the cultivation of the embryo.
As progesterone levels rise, you may become more emotional. This is because progesterone can increase the body's cortisol, which is directly related to people's stress levels.
Studies have found that people who are more stressed have higher levels of cortisol in their bodies.
Now that life is so stressful, when a mother has to work and take care of the baby, the cortisol level itself is already very high. At this stage, progesterone will lead to excessive secretion of cortisol in the body. It is conceivable that mothers are irritable. how serious it will be.
These symptoms of the luteal phase can be difficult to deal with, but you can avoid them by adopting healthier habits. Not paying attention to nutritional balance, drinking a lot of alcohol, and unhealthy sleep habits can damage your hormone levels and make premenstrual symptoms more difficult to control.
