While estrogen doesn't directly cause crying, it can influence emotions and make you more sensitive to external triggers. This means you might find yourself crying more easily at movies, during conversations, or even when experiencing everyday stressors.
Common emotional changes associated with estrogen fluctuations include:
- Increased sensitivity: You may feel more emotionally tender and react more strongly to situations that wouldn't normally affect you.
- Mood swings: Estrogen fluctuations can contribute to irritability, anxiety, and even depression.
- Greater empathy: Some people report feeling more empathetic and understanding towards others during periods of hormonal change.
These emotional changes are often temporary and typically even out over time. However, it's important to remember that everyone experiences hormonal changes differently, and some people may not experience any significant emotional shifts.
If you're experiencing persistent emotional changes or distress, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and support.
