Women can experience many different symptoms around the time of their menstrual cycle. Most would complain of mood swings, abdominal/uterine cramps and worsening acne, but few women are aware that they can experience a variety of allergic reactions related to their menses. It has long been known that asthma and nasal allergies can worsen during a woman's mentrual cycle, but other allergic reactions, including various skin allergies and even anaphylaxis may also occur. One form of anaphylaxis is caused by an allergy to a woman's own hormones, especially progesterone, while another form of anaphylaxis actually occurs during a woman's menses as a result of inflammatory chemicals released from the lining of the uterus. Learn about the various allergic reactions that can occur during the menstrual cycle, and what can be done about them.
