A new study reveals that asthmatic women may find their respiratory symptoms worsening due to their menstrual cycle.

The researchers found that asthma symptoms were more severe during ovulation and suggested that the symptoms can be brought under control by adapting their medication.
“We found that respiratory symptoms varied significantly during the menstrual cycle. There were large changes in symptom incidence through the cycle for all symptoms. Adjustment of asthma medication to the menstrual cycle may potentially improve the efficacy of asthma treatment and reduce disability and health costs related to asthma in women”, the researchers wrote in their report.
