Period Every fourth man experiences his days like women

Men also get their "days"
According to a survey, around one in four British people gets their "days" once a month. During this "period" mental and physical complaints occur. Many female respondents said they particularly supported their partners during this time.
Every fourth man suffers from premenstrual syndrome
After reporting in recent years that there are also signs of male menopause, a survey in the UK has now shown that the "strong sex" even gets a sort of period. For example, 26 percent of men surveyed reported regular premenstrual syndrome (PMS). During this time, they would constantly hungry, desire for sweets and would often be in a bad mood. The sufferers also reported frequent tiredness. Five percent even stated that they were experiencing regular menstrual cramps such as abdominal cramps.

Many women believe their partner
The survey, which involved more than 2,400 people - both men and women - found that 58 percent of women lose weight to their partner, and he also suffers from PMS. 43 percent of the women stated that they were especially affectionate to him during this time. However, it also turned out that 33 percent do not believe their partner's word and feel that he should not be so and "stand his man". On the Internet, the results since the publication cause a lot of ridicule. For example, the newspaper "Independent" reports on "man-construction" and "man-opause".

Fluctuations in hormone balance
Although most people doubt it, in the past many have claimed that there is a "male period". For example, psychotherapist and author Jed Diamond, in his book "The Irritable Male Syndrome" (IMS), describes how fluctuations in the hormonal balance can affect men's state of mind. The male body is therefore subject to a hormone cycle that repeats monthly. Even older studies seem to confirm this. For example, in the 1950s, the Danish researcher had been able to detect hormone changes in a 30-day rhythm in male urine samples. (Ad)
