Reproductive system
You may have no thought that stress will end up affecting your reproductive system, but it has been shown that it is one of the body systems that end up being impacted. So if you or someone you know in your life has had problems conceiving and you know that they are under a lot of stress every day, it could be that this is one of the reasons why. However, studies have shown that it affects males and females differently!
When it comes to females, the different types are separated in different ways. The easiest one to spot is its impact on sexual desire; women end up having a reduced libido due to stress, fatigue, and depression, as well as the fact that it is harder to conceive together.
Other ways stress affects the reproductive system are in the way it affects the menstrual cycles, making them irregular or exacerbating the premenstrual symptoms, going down to causing flare-ups in those who have the herpes simplex virus and even triggering polycystic ovary syndrome. It can also end up making women who hit menopause have worse physical effects.
With males, testosterone production is heavily impacted, reducing libido, and in cases of extreme stress, it can even lead to erectile dysfunction. It can also end up impacting the production of sperm, thus negatively affecting the conception process. Males can also end up getting immune system issues, making them more susceptible to infection of the reproductory system!
If you’re getting more and more stressed as the days go by, make sure you read about the best ways in which you can manage stress and its symptoms so you don’t end up with more health issues!

When I’m under severe stress my eyelashes fall out. Its been happening since I was 17 years old. I could never get a doctor to agree the two were related but after 5 decades of it happening I can say it most definitely is the cause.
