🎓📉 Why Exams Might Be Messing With Your Period! 🩸😮‍💨 [AD] Ever had your period go MIA during exam season? You're not alone - and it’s not just “stress” in the vague sense. I've teamed up with @wukawear to tall stress and periods! 🧠 High cortisol (your stress hormone) can interrupt your hormonal cycle. 💥 Your brain literally puts reproduction on pause to help you survive the pressure. ⏰ That can lead to delayed, irregular or even missed periods during intense times. But there’s good news, you can support your body through the stress: 🍽️ Eat regular, nourishing meals 😴 Get 7–9 hours of sleep 🚶🏽‍♀️ Move your body (even gentle walks!) 🌿 Get outside for daylight + fresh air 🤗 And talk to someone - you’re not alone! If you're struggling, speak to an adult you trust ✨Periods are your body’s messenger - not your enemy. 🎥 Share this with a teen or parent who needs to know it’s NORMAL and manageable! When I was applying for medical school, I didnt have a period for almost 4months due to the stress of interviews and exams! 👇🏽 Drop a ❤️ if you’ve felt this shift during exam season and let’s open up the convo. #PeriodHealth #ExamStress #examstressbuster #exams2025 #TeenHealth #TeenHealthMatters #wuka #wakeupkickass #HormoneBalance #CycleCare #PaediatricDoctor #EmpowerTeens #SouthAsianHealth #WUKA #StressAndPeriods #CycleAwareness #MentalLoadMatters
