Can stress cause your period to come early ?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Overwhelming stress can impact your hypothalamus, which regulates the hormones responsible for your menstrual cycle and many other things. Stress can lengthen or shorten your menstrual cycle, making it unpredictable.
