Associations between menstrual cycle phases and sexuality, well-being and mood in young healthy women.

Summary: Do you ever wonder if your monthly period changes your mood or sex drive? A new study looked at 171 young, healthy women to find out. Doctors checked their hormones to see exactly where they were in their monthly cycle. Then, they asked the women about their happiness, mood, and sex life.

The result? The time of the month did not cause any big changes in their mood, well-being, or sex drive. However, the study did find that women in a steady relationship had a better sex life overall. This is great news that can help women understand their bodies better and worry less about mood swings tied to their cycle!
