Mood swings after a period ends can happen due to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.
Mood swings can occur at different times in the menstrual cycle, including after a period ends. Hormonal changes are a key reason for these mood changes.
Ovulation Disturbances: According to research, disturbances in ovulation can affect mood throughout the menstrual cycle. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, which can influence how a person feels emotionally.
Mood and Sexuality: Another study suggests that mood can be linked to hormonal changes that also affect sexuality in women. These changes can contribute to mood swings.
Premenstrual Symptoms: While much focus is on the premenstrual period, mood changes can still be present after the period due to lingering hormonal effects.
If mood swings are severe or cause distress, it might be helpful to seek support. For mental health concerns, you can visit 988lifeline.org.
