Women like to say that
they're the only ones that bear the burden of PMS because they're actually the
ones who are enduring all the physical pain, emotional anguish, not to mention
a never-ending flow of the red stuff from down below and they're right, they do
suffer more than men do. Men are constantly confused as to why the sweet girl
that they love 21 days a month suddenly turns into an angry mood.
"All men
suck!"
"You don't know
how this feels! Why don't you understand!? I hate you for not understanding!
God, you're f*cking WORTHLESS!"
"Feed me
chocolate, dammit, and cater to my every whim or DIE!"
But have you ever
wondered, 'is a man also period?’ The truth is mood swings in guys, and many of
the symptoms that women experience as part of PMS are just as common in men. The
answer to that is ‘NO’ they do not have uteri. PMS is premenstrual syndrome
which is the whole complex of symptoms that occur as a result of female
hormonal imbalance. Hormone-imbalances can cause depression. Depression is a
symptom of PMS, and most people get depressed. They may feel like what they do
is not good enough for other people. Some people deal with depression by
crying, while others just stay in their homes.
But men do have other
cycles in their lives, researchers recently discovered that many men really do
suffer from a condition similar to PMS called Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS).
However, it is not like the contaminated blood
from their bodies and menstrual cramps * replaced with 'stomach cramps'* for
some men. Most men think shifting levels of hormones is something only women
suffer from, but facts show otherwise. Men are equally prone to depression,
high stress levels, and mood swings.
What Influences Men's Moods? It is very
similar to those that affect a woman's mood. Men who eat a poor-quality diet, too
much alcohol and caffeine and not enough vitamins and minerals are simply more
likely to feel cross and irritable. Some other factors can affect men's moods
are social stresses, including work and financial pressures which is expected
of men in this society.
Men go through from
depression, frustrations, and stress. The only difference is that women express
their emotions where as men have been taught to suffer in silence and tend to
become lonelier.
Could that itself be a
reason why women generally live longer than men?
