A member asked:
Why can being emotionally upset disrupt a woman's menstrual regular cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interactions: Cortisol is a hormone that goes up with stress; it slows or raises production of other hormones, like dhea, which is the first step in reproductive hormone production, conversion of thyroid hormone to its active state, etc. It's a complicated cascade!
