Blood Pressure Disrupts Women’s Hormones - Doctors

Doctors say that blood pressure problems are not limited to heart or brain health alone but can seriously affect women’s hormonal balance and menstrual cycle. According to medical experts, both high and low blood pressure can disturb hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, aldosterone, and thyroid hormones, leading to irregular periods. Hypertension, in particular, can disrupt the normal menstrual rhythm, doctors explain.

Doctors further warn that high blood pressure can damage the blood vessels supplying the uterus and ovaries, causing heavy menstrual bleeding or even complete stoppage of periods, a condition known as amenorrhea. On the other hand, low blood pressure may lead to dizziness, weakness, fainting, excessive bleeding, and anemia during menstruation. Maintaining normal blood pressure through regular check-ups, a balanced diet, and stress management is essential for both overall health and a healthy menstrual cycle, doctors advise.
