Reasons why menstrual cycles seem the same as those of people closest to you

  Women who frequently interact with each other often experience menstrual cycle synchronization when their periods come at the same time.

Consultant obstetrician and gynecologist at Motherhood Hospitals, Bangalore, Dr. Prathima A explains the science behind this common phenomenon.

Dr. Prathima acknowledges that while women who spend a lot of time together may menstruate around the same time, there's no mystical or physiological way that their systems are truly "in sync."
