Vegan lifestyle affect periods?

Question

Hey guys! I have been vegan/vegetarian for almost a year. During this time I’ve been on and off bc. I’m currently not on it anymore and I’ve noticed that my period has become super light and lasts for a short amount of time (like 2-3 days). I have heard that not consuming meat/animal products may have something to do with this. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this experience?

Answer

Before I went vegan, my periods were very heavy, I had horrid cramps, and they lasted 6-7 days. After about 9 or 10 months of being vegan my cycle started to change. I now have been vegan for almost 2 years and my cycle is still heavy on the first day, but they only last 4 days now and I RARELY get cramps, and when i do they arent nearly as bad as they were before. I definitely think that no longer consuming all the hormones in meat and especially dairy has made my body balance out and have a more efficient cycle. I have my hormones to deal with and that's it, no more outside sources.

Answer

You’re consuming less hormones via animal products so it does make a difference:)

Answer

this is true. vegan lifestyle cleanses your body. you body does not have as much to get rid of due to not eating animals/animal products

Answer

I used to have periods that gave me fevers and spent most of the full 7 days cramped in bed they were just terrible. They are shorter, lighter and far less painful now after a year of veganism!

Answer

I’ve been vegan for 3 years now. Much less cramping!! I’ve always had light/medium periods for 4 days, those parts didn’t change

Answer

If you are not eating animal products that cause inflammation, then, YES!
