Why is mental stress leading to irregular menstruation? The normal function of each organ in the body depends on the regulation of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system to keep the balance between each other. Unfavorable factors in mental and environmental factors will destroy these balances, causing ovarian dysfunction and irregular menstruation. Mental stress or excessive anxiety will cause a series of changes in the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system of the reproductive organs. Central nervous tension can lead to increased levels of catecholamines, prolactin, endorphins and melatonin, thereby inhibiting the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus and causing menstrual disorders. For the ovaries, the autonomic nerves control the blood supply to the ovaries, the contraction of the ovaries, the size of the follicles and ovulation; for the fallopian tubes, the excitement of the autonomic nerves can affect the transportation of eggs in the fallopian tubes; for the uterus, changes in the excitability of the autonomic nerves can affect the implantation rate of fertilized eggs.

Therefore, mental fear, tension, worry, grief, shock, emotional excitement, changes in living habits, and acclimatization after relocation can affect the hypothalamus and pituitary gland through nerves, and then affect the secretion of sex hormones, endocrine disorders, and menstrual disorders. In clinical practice, some polycystic ovary patients have ovulated more than four times after treatment, but because they sleep too late on holidays (usually after 1 a.m.), polycystic disease relapses. Exam tension can also affect the menstrual cycle, so it is necessary to avoid staying up late and relax appropriately.
