It usually begins one lunar month from puberty until menopause. It, however, temporarily disappears <a href=\"https:\/\/mytransgenderdate.com\/blog\/2021\/02\/can-a-trans-woman-get-pregnant\">when pregnancy occurs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Transgender Women have Periods?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, when it comes to the discussion of having red days, <strong>transgender women don\u2019t have it<\/strong> because doctors do not include a uterus in vaginoplasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/mytransgenderdate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/03\/Do_Transgender_Women_have_Periods-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Tampons and sanitary pads\" class=\"wp-image-5100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mytransgenderdate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/03\/Do_Transgender_Women_have_Periods-edited.jpg 900w, https:\/\/mytransgenderdate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/03\/Do_Transgender_Women_have_Periods-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mytransgenderdate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/03\/Do_Transgender_Women_have_Periods-edited-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are studies that some transgender women experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/pmdd-vs-pms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why some transgender women experience PMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most individuals have physical symptoms <strong>when they are experiencing PMS<\/strong>. However, some go through it emotionally or psychologically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/periods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UK\u2019s National Health Service<\/a>, the period is part of a menstrual cycle where blood comprising the uterine lining leaves the body. They confirmed that individuals <strong>not possessing an ovary and uterus<\/strong> will not experience periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But PMS and PDD, terms referring to the emotional and physical symptoms before the period begins, are often results of fluctuating hormones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How some transgender women experience PMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transgender women transition differently. Some seek the help of science which may <a href=\"https:\/\/mytransgenderdate.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/what-is-transgender-hormone-replacement-therapy\">include hormone replacement therapy<\/a> or certain surgeries while others prefer dressing up without medical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ones who medically transition often take <strong>oral, transdermal, or injectable hormones<\/strong> that increase estrogen levels and decrease testosterone levels to reach a regular cis woman\u2019s levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, their hormones may fluctuate greatly and may cause symptoms of PMDD which are similar to PMS but are more severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people will wonder why trans women will opt to endure the symptoms of PMDD when they can just stop taking medication. However, what they don\u2019t know is that HRT helps in alleviating <a href=\"https:\/\/mytransgenderdate.com\/blog\/2020\/06\/the-gender-dysphoria-guide-and-what-you-must-know\">the symptoms of gender dysphoria<\/a> by making it possible for trans women to achieve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A more feminine figure by body fat redistribution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promotion of breast growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce balding or male-pattern hair growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What PMS-like symptoms Trans Women experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many anecdotal evidences backing up the experience of <strong>trans women having PMS-like symptoms<\/strong>.
