🚨 Did you know that there could be a correlation between worsening asthma symptoms and the menstrual cycle?

🚩 Between 10% and 40% of women have reported experiencing significantly worse asthma symptoms just before and during their period.

🚩 The hormonal fluctuations that women experience during their menstrual cycle is believed to be the reason behind this complex change in symptom severity.

🚩 For example, estrogen and progesterone have been found to drive inflammation in lung cells - whereas, testosterone has the opposite effect.

🚩 Progesterone has also been found to impair the hair-like structures found in the airway that are responsible for the expulsion of mucus and foreign debris. This can make the already existing inflammation even worse.

🚩 What makes this correlation even more confusing, is that the hormones in question are at their lowest concentrations at the times in which these symptoms appear. A lot more research is desperately required in this field to understand these patterns better and find solutions for women who are experiencing this.
