Male menstruation

Male menstruation is a term used to describe a phenomenon where men experience symptoms similar to those of a menstrual cycle. These symptoms can include mood swings, fatigue, and abdominal cramping. While men do not menstruate in the traditional sense, the term is used to describe these cyclical symptoms.

Causes

The causes of male menstruation are not fully understood. Some researchers believe that it may be related to hormonal fluctuations, similar to those experienced by women during their menstrual cycle. Others suggest that it could be a psychosomatic response, where men experience symptoms due to psychological or emotional factors.

Treatment for male menstruation can vary depending on the underlying cause. If the symptoms are believed to be related to hormonal fluctuations, hormone therapy may be recommended. If the symptoms are thought to be psychosomatic, psychological therapy or counseling may be beneficial.
