How does our body react in heat?

Let us tell you that our periods come from hormones (like estrogen and progesterone). These hormones are affected by stress, sleep and water intake. Due to the increase in temperature in summer, we sweat more. Due to this, our body gets dehydrated quickly. Also, we are not able to sleep properly in summer. Eating habits also get disturbed. All these affect our hormones and its direct effect is seen on periods.

What are the effects of dehydration?

Actually, due to lack of water the blood becomes thick. Due to this, more clots start forming during periods and this can also increase the pain. In such a situation, when the muscles of the uterus become dehydrated, the pain increases.

Why do blood vessels expand in the heat?

Apart from this, the veins of the body start expanding in summer. This is so that more blood can flow to keep the body cool. This extra blood also reaches the uterus, which increases bleeding. Women who already have more flow may face more problems in summer.
