Is period syncing true? Does it help women bond better?

Period syncing, a phenomenon where menstruating individuals living in close proximity experience their menstrual cycles aligning, has long intrigued scientists and fascinated social circles. 

Research suggests that when individuals spend significant time together, their hormonal cues may influence each other's menstrual cycles, leading to synchronization. For example, in a household of four women, the likelihood of at least two of them menstruating simultaneously is high, fostering a unique bond among them. This shared experience not only deepens emotional connections but also provides a sense of solidarity and understanding during a typically challenging time.

The concept of period syncing extends beyond mere coincidence, delving into the intricate interplay of hormones and social dynamics. 

As society progresses towards greater openness regarding menstruation, understanding period syncing can foster empathy and inclusivity. 

However, on the flip side, many doctors feel that if the theory was indeed true, it should happen between mothers and daughters and even sisters, but that is not the case. 

Also, research is yet to corroborate this claim. Therefore, as of now, it is nothing beyond a popular idea with no science backing it.
