In some women, mood and behavioral changes appear to be linked to the menstrual cycle. New basic science data on steroid-brain interactions have renewed interest in the menstrual cycle as a naturalistic model for assessing gonadal steroid-induced mental and behavioral changes. The authors investigate similarities and differences in affective symptoms associated with reproductive-related gonadal steroid changes that span the life cycle of women, including the menstrual cycle, oral contraceptive use, pregnancy, the postpartum period, and perimenopause. Recommendations for reporting of symptoms and implications for future research are discussed.
在一些女性中，情绪和行为变化似乎与月经周期有关。关于类固醇与大脑相互作用的新基础科学数据，重新激发了人们对月经周期作为评估性腺类固醇引起的心理和行为变化的自然模型的兴趣。作者研究了与生殖相关的性腺类固醇变化相关的情感症状的异同，这些变化贯穿女性的生命周期，包括月经周期、口服避孕药的使用、怀孕、产后时期和围绝经期。文中还讨论了症状报告的建议以及对未来研究的启示。
