Does mental stress or tension cause menstrual problems in ladies?

When the period starts , is it ok if it takes 2-3 days time to get a normal flow as for the first two days its just little. Is it bcoz of mental tension?

yes.it kind of affects ur menstrual cycle.whenever i get too stressed, my period will definitely come like 1 or 2 weeks late than usual.

Many psychological or physiological factors can influence menses but otherwise sounds normal to me.
This study examined cardiovascular and catecholamine responses to two standardized laboratory stressors in 33 healthy age- and weight-matched black and white normotensive women (mean age, 32 years) during two phases of the menstrual cycle. Subjects were studied in a randomized order at the same time of day on two separate occasions approximately 6 weeks apart, once during the follicular phase (days 7 to 10 after menses) and once during the luteal phase (days 7 to 10 after the leutenizing hormone surge) of the menstrual cycle. Black women had higher systolic (P=.01) and diastolic (P=.01) pressures compared with white women. Black women showed greater diastolic pressure (P<.01) and plasma epinephrine (P<.05) responses to stress during the follicular compared with the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle; white women showed no significant changes in these variables. The findings extend the literature on race differences in responsivity to stress and indicate that in contrast to white women, reproductive hormones do influence cardiovascular and catecholamine responsivity to stress in black women.
yes it can be. Tension can induce any thing
may be.
Yes, and vice versa.
My references recommend a good high potency multivitamin, calcium-magnesium pills, Vitamin C and E, and an essential fatty acid supplement for problems with your period. Black cohosh and Soy isoflavones are also helpful. (See vitamsearch.com)
Please get an examination by a good gynexologist if your problems persist or get worse. Abnormal menstrual bleeding can be a sign of serious problems and should never be ignored.
Good luck and God bless!
Probably.
