Periods
Acute and chronic stress can
fundamentally alter the body's hormone
balance, which can lead to missed, late
or irregular periods. Researchers have
also found that women in stressful jobs
are at a 50 percent higher risk for short
cycle length (less than 24 days) than
women who do not work in high-stress
positions.
Breakouts
Raised levels of cortisol in the body can
cause excess oil production that
contributes to the development of acne
breakouts. A 2003 study observed that
female college students experienced
more breakouts during exam periods
due to increased stress
Digestion
Prolonged stress can greatly impact the
digestive system by
increasing stomach acid, causing
indigestion and discomfort, and in some
cases contributing to the development
of IBS and ulcers. Reducing stress is key
to maintaining a healthy digestive
system, according to womenshealth.gov
