Reuters UK<\/a> reports that women who have irregular menstrual periods are more likely to have abnormal lung function and asthma.<\/p>\n

‘Physicians should be aware that women with menstrual irregularity seem to be at greater risk of asthma and impaired lung function,’ says Dr. Francisco Gomez Real from Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway.<\/p>\n

Earlier research found links between airway abnormalities and sex hormone irregularities. For instance, studies have implied relationships between asthma and abnormal levels of sex hormones; obesity, asthma and lung function; and between lung function and insulin resistance. Those struggling with low or unbalanced hormones can also benefit from BHRT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘Obesity, low physical activity, and menstrual irregularity are risk factors in airway pathology,’ Real concludes. ‘I would say that especially women with menstrual irregularity who do not exercise daily should undergo lung function testing, as those women represent, by far, a greater health concern. In addition, women exercising daily do not seem to be at risk of (irregular) lower lung function.’<\/p>\n
