A study was done to see how often women with mental health issues also have problems with their reproductive system.
The researchers looked at studies from 1980 to 2019 that included women between the ages of 13 and 55. They found that women with reproductive problems were two to three times more likely to have mental health problems.
This was especially true for women with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or chronic pelvic pain (CPP), which are associated with an increased risk of depression and anxiety.
The reasons for this are not entirely clear, but it may be due to medication, stress, genetic factors, or the impact of reproductive problems on quality of life.
However, the researchers suggest that further studies are required to clearly understand the connection between mental health and the reproductive system in women.
