The problem of PMS is becoming more serious among Gen Z and Millennial women due to the modern lifestyle. Stress and workplace pressure are affecting the hormonal balance and increasing problems like fatigue and sleeplessness.
Office stress, constantly changing lifestyle, and hustle culture, i.e., being in a rush all the time, its effect is clearly visible on the health of the young generation. Especially in women, it directly affects the pre-menstrual syndrome that comes before periods. Doctors also believe that today's generation, i.e., Gen Z and millennials, is facing more serious and toxic PMS than their mothers.
What is PMS, and why is the problem increasingPMS starts about 1 to 2 weeks before the period. It causes problems like mood swings, fatigue, irritability, changes in appetite, and sleep. Surveys show that about 75% of women of reproductive age are affected by it. But one in every five women has a condition so severe that it affects their daily life.
Hustle culture and stressDoctors believe that continuous work, staying up late, and the pressure to perform all the time disturb the hormonal balance of women. Many experts also say that when stress increases, the cortisol level of the body remains high, which affects the nervous system, and the symptoms of PMS become more severe. Apart from this, high cortisol has a direct effect on estrogen and testosterone, due to which PMS starts bothering you more.
Workplace and social pressureMany women believe that PMS is not taken seriously at the workplace. Regarding this, experts say that sometimes taking leave from work in case of problems is considered a weakness. In such a situation, women keep suppressing the symptoms, and the situation worsens. Experts also say that if not paid attention to in time, it can turn into a serious condition like PMDD i.e., Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. At the same time, the new generation is talking about PMS more openly than mothers, but due to lifestyle and stress, the same symptoms are now looking more serious.
