A member asked:

How can i reduce stress. my periods have stopped and i am not really sleeping is there anything i can be doing rather than tablets ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exercise: Exercise is the best form of stress reduction. 4 or more days per week, at least 20 minutes with your heart rate elevated. There are other causes of sleeplessness and lack of menses so before blaming stress you might want to see your doctor.
