There are prevalent myths about menstruation, such as the belief that certain foods directly impact the menstrual cycle. However, specific foods do not affect the timing or flow of menstruation. Mood swings associated with PMS should be distinguished from severe mood disorders. Certain health conditions can influence menstrual patterns, requiring professional diagnosis and management. Dispelling these misconceptions promotes accurate knowledge and enhances menstrual health.
