<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Understanding the Causes<\/h2><\/div>The top priority for your body is your personal survival, and most of your body’s processes are designed precisely for that (like your digestion and immune system). Your menstruation cycle, however, serves a different purpose. Its goal isn’t to ensure your individual survival, but \u2013 if you look closely \u2013 the survival of all humanity.<\/p>\n
Naturally, your body always prioritizes its own survival. Only when sufficient resources are available does it also focus on maintaining balanced hormones and symptom-free cycles. That means whenever your body faces shortages due to deficiencies, illness, or stress, your female cycle is the first to be affected, as this process is simply less important for your body.<\/p>\n
If your cycle is insufficiently supported and deprioritized, hormonal imbalances can develop, leading to discomfort and symptoms. Simple measures – like reducing sugar, improving sleep habits, and stress reduction are certainly a good start. Bit at Dr.D\u00fcnner, we take a holistic view of women’s health. What could be the reason your body doesn’t have enough energy to fully support your menstrual cycle?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Cycle Phases are Interconnected<\/h2><\/div>Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, which has built up throughout the cycle and is no longer needed because no fertilized egg will implant this cycle.<\/strong> Biologically, bleeding marks the end of a menstrual cycle, even if in all types of cycle tracking (NFP, cycle apps, or cycle wheel) consider your period as the start of a new cycle.<\/p>\nWhether or not you experience menstrual discomfort depends on several factors, including the thickness and structure of the uterine lining and how relaxed the uterus was before menstruation. All of this is determined, for example, by the levels of estrogen, progesterone, and stress hormones in the weeks BEFORE menstruation.<\/p>\n
Each phase of the cycle builds on the one before it, meaning your daily lifestyle choices affect your cycle every day of the month. So, if you mainly feel discomfort during your period, it’s actually the result of what your cycle experienced in the weeks leading up to it.<\/p>\n
A relaxed period, on the other hand, would be the result of a healthy preceding cycle. To support a healthy period, the needs of your cycle must be considered from day 1. That’s why we at Dr.D\u00fcnner, we highly recommend simple cycle observation using a cycle wheel<\/a>. It helps you identify whether factors like stress, illness, irregular eating, or poor sleep might be the trigger for period pain and PMS.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/pourelle.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Gruppe-597@2x.png\" "\\"Group")
