The Effects on Menstrual Health from Moving to Kuwait City
A lot of Filipino women have noticed changes in their periods since moving to Kuwait City. The reason for this is simply that your body is adapting to its new environment. As explained by Dr. Mary, this is a normal process – but it’s important to know when this is a sign of something more serious.
What Goes On Inside Your Body After Moving to Kuwait City?
Kuwait City is a city with extreme heat, low humidity, and an extremely different way of life compared to the Philippines. All of these changes directly affect your hormonal system – the system in your body that controls your monthly cycle.
• Heat and dry environment – causes dehydration and disrupts estrogen and progesterone levels.
• Crossing time zones – impacts the body’s cortisol rhythm, which is associated with regulating the menstrual cycle.
• Change in diet – consumption of fewer fresh vegetables and increased consumption of processed foods causes gut-hormone imbalance.
• Adjusting emotionally – separation from one’s family increases stress hormone levels.
• Physical activity change – many OFWs become more active while others become inactive due to overworking.
DR. MARY SAYS: According to Dr. Mary, menstrual cycle changes that occur in the first 3 to 6 months after living in a new country are quite common and will eventually disappear with adaptation. The problem starts to arise when menstruation continues being irregular beyond 3 months and comes with discomfort.
Common Types of Period Irregularities in OFWs in Kuwait City
All period irregularities are not alike. The following are the most common irregularities seen by Dr. Mary in her patients in Kuwait:
1. Delayed period (late period) – most common; mostly stress related
2. Amenorrhea (no period for three months or longer)
3. Light/Heavy flow – indicates hormonal imbalance
4. Shortened/Lengthened menstrual cycle – shorter than 21 or longer than 35 days
5. Painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea); increased pain may be caused by endometriosis/fibroids.
! MEDICAL WARNING: In case you have experienced absent periods in more than three months, heavy bleeding that requires changing one sanitary napkin every hour or so, or pelvic pains, kindly consult a doctor at a hospital in Kuwait City as soon as possible.
