What are the emotional and physical effects of menstruation?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, menstruation brings a surge of emotions—anger, depression, irritability, despair, a tendency to fight or throw tantrums—along with physical pain for women. Men, though without bleeding, experience a parallel monthly emotional dip. When partners’ cycles synchronize, turmoil intensifies. The key is watchful, non‑identifying awareness, open communication, compassionate restraint, journaling patterns, and using pills if desired to ease physical suffering.
