I was casually scrolling through my Instagram feed this other day and I came across a screenshot of a twitter post by a guy that said: “A period is not an excuse to have an attitude.” Of course, me and so many other females were instantly triggered by this because very few men understand what women go through whenever it is that time of the month. However, it did get me thinking if it was the menses that gave most ladies, myself included (and no, I am not proud of this), a salty attitude, or was there an underlying reason as to why this happens. So, I did some research of my own to get an in-depth understanding of why periods give women an attitude, as well as to reach a consensus on the dictum.

Firstly, it is important for us to understand the process of menstruation and why women are supposed to go through this every month. According to Dr. Anna Druet, the menstrual period, which is commonly referred to as just a “period,” is the shedding of the uterine lining (endometrium). Blood and endometrial tissue flow down through the cervix and vagina. A period releases the tissue that grew to support a possible pregnancy. It happens after each menstrual cycle in which a pregnancy doesn’t occur—i.e. when an egg hasn’t been fertilized and/or attached itself to the uterine wall. The uterus then sheds the lining which had grown to receive a fertilized egg.

In layman`s terms, every female`s cycle uses hormonal signals as cues for what to do next. In the first part of the menstrual cycle, one of the ovaries prepares to release an egg. It also produces an increasing amount of the hormone estrogen. This estrogen helps grow and prepare the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) for a potential pregnancy (1). After one of the ovaries releases an egg (ovulation), it produces the hormone progesterone. Progesterone also helps prepare the uterus for a possible pregnancy, and keeps the endometrium “stable” in the uterus, ready to receive a fertilized egg (2). If an egg is fertilized, it then travels to the uterus over the next several days, implants in the uterine wall, and starts growing a hormone-producing placenta. If, by then, the body doesn’t receive a hormonal signal that a pregnancy is in-progress, levels of estrogen and progesterone drop. This drop in hormones prepare the endometrium to shed and triggers the production of hormone-like prostaglandins, which cause the uterus to contract, causing your period (3, 4). And the cycle starts again.

Now in response to the question of why then do women develop this attitude, this is why.

Behavioral tendencies throughout the menstrual cycle are tied to the variations in hormones that occur throughout the month. During these fluctuations, you might notice a change in mood or even your physical health. The following are the different phases of your cycle and how they can affect your well-being.

The Follicular Phase

This is most likely the “happy” part of your cycle. This phase begins when you start your period and typically lasts for about two weeks. During this time, a hormone called estradiol begins to increase. Most women feel energetic and joyful during the follicular phase, especially when comparing it to the luteal phase.

The Ovulatory Phase

During this phase, the luteinizing hormone, which will eventually induce ovulation, begins to rise. Some scientific studies have shown that women have an increase in libido and a higher pain tolerance during this phase. Women may also feel more attractive during this time as well.

The Luteal Phase

During this phase, there is an increase in the hormone progesterone. Women typically feel moodier and more stressed during this time. This phase occurs just before your period. During this luteal period, women go through what is called PMS, which is the premenstrual syndrome. This PMS is usually accompanied by symptoms such as depression and other mood changes, appetite changes, backaches, feeling bloated, headaches, irritability, insomnia, sweating, and sore breasts. This in itself is a headache and half to deal with because the cramps experienced in this phase can get so bad to the point where women spend more days in bed than doing anything productive. They cause a loss of confidence and self-consciousness that also have a negative toll on these women, hence the need to lash out and relieve their frustration. Although, on the other hand, it is not always periods that give ladies an attitude. Home-related problems, stress, frustration, and even heartbreak could be the cause, and although I don`t condone it, but sometimes that`s their coping mechanism as talking to other people doesn't hit the right spot.

So, the next time a lady who you know is on her period lashes out at you, don’t be quick to label her as a bi*ch or a snob, but instead, do what you can to help feel better during this period (pun unintended).
