4. Stress

Stress can affect periods in a few different ways. Going through a stressful period may lengthen or shorten your period, temporarily put a stop to it, or you may experience more painful cycles [NHS].

Dealing with the stress that is causing these changes will typically get you back on track. Some people are able to find stress relief through exercise, meditation, or other self-help tactics, while others find counseling more beneficial.
