Hemoperiod

term used to describe a situation where trauma or stress, such as undergoing surgery, triggers the onset of a woman’s menstrual cycle earlier than expected. The physical stress or trauma experienced by the body due to surgery can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to changes in the menstrual cycle, causing it to occur earlier than its regular schedule. This phenomenon is a result of the body’s response to stress, affecting hormonal regulation and potentially causing alterations in the menstrual cycle timing.
