This study was designed to investigate whether there is a relationship between the menstrual cycle and suicide attempts, and to determine the factors affecting suicide attempts in different phases of the menstrual cycle. The study sample included 52 women who were admitted to the emergency room because of a suicide attempt. The incidence of suicide attempts in menstrual follicular phase (MFP) was significantly higher than in other phases. No significant difference of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics was observed between MFP and the other phases. Also, hormone levels of patients who attempted suicide were not different from those of healthy control subjects. In spite of the fact that suicide attempts were often made in MFP, there was substantial difficulty in explaining why this frequency was different than other phases. Furthermore, the event may be linked to low estrogen and progesterone levels in this phase. It has, however, been thought that hormonal effects cannot be responsible alone for suicide attempts.
本研究旨在调查月经周期与自杀未遂之间是否存在关联，并确定在月经周期不同阶段影响自杀未遂的因素。研究样本包括52名因自杀未遂而入住急诊室的女性。月经卵泡期（MFP）自杀未遂的发生率显著高于其他阶段。MFP与其他阶段之间在社会人口统计学和临床特征方面未观察到显著差异。此外，自杀未遂患者的激素水平与健康对照受试者的激素水平没有差异。尽管自杀未遂经常发生在MFP，但要解释为什么这个阶段的频率与其他阶段不同存在很大困难。此外，该事件可能与这个阶段雌激素和孕酮水平低有关。然而，人们认为激素作用不可能单独导致自杀未遂。
