It's completely normal to experience emotional changes, including crying, during your period.
Hormonal fluctuations are the main culprit. Your estrogen and progesterone levels plummet during your period, which can affect your mood and make you more sensitive to emotions.
These hormonal shifts can trigger a range of symptoms, including:
* **Mood swings:** You might feel happy one minute and then suddenly tearful the next.
* **Increased sensitivity:** You might be more easily upset by things that wouldn't normally bother you.
* **Irritability:** You might feel short-tempered or easily frustrated.
* **Anxiety or depression:** Some women experience a heightened sense of anxiety or even depression during their period.It's important to remember that these emotional changes are temporary and usually subside once your period ends.
If you find that your emotional changes are severe or interfering with your daily life, talk to your doctor. They can rule out any underlying medical conditions and offer advice on how to manage your symptoms.
