    Women develop slow brain waves faster and show increased carbon dioxide sensitivity during the premenstrual and menstrual phases. These respiratory changes may contribute to premenstrual tension symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • The menstrual cycle influences various physiological processes.
    • Premenstrual tension (PMT) symptoms have complex etiologies.
    • Respiratory system function can be modulated by hormonal changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between menstrual cycle phases and electroencephalogram (EEG) slow wave activity.
    • To assess changes in respiratory carbon dioxide (CO2) sensitivity across the menstrual cycle.
    • To explore potential physiological mechanisms underlying premenstrual tension.

    Main Methods:

    • Standardized hyperventilation (overbreathing) protocols were used.
    • Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings monitored brain activity.

  • Respiratory CO2 response testing was performed during different menstrual cycle phases.

    • Main Results:

    • Shorter durations of hyperventilation were needed to induce EEG slow waves premenstrually and during menstruation.
    • Increased CO2 sensitivity of the respiratory system was observed during these phases.
    • A correlation between these physiological changes and premenstrual symptoms was suggested.

    Conclusions:

    • Respiratory system sensitivity to CO2 and EEG slow wave generation vary across the menstrual cycle.
    • Enhanced CO2 sensitivity and quicker EEG slow wave induction during the premenstrual/menstrual phases may be linked to premenstrual tension.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm the causal link between these physiological changes and PMT.
