hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (hpa) axis

What Are the Effects of Chronic Stress on the HPA Axis?

Chronic stress can lead to HPA axis dysregulation, resulting in elevated levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This can subsequently increase cortisol production, potentially disrupting menstrual cycles and leading to conditions like amenorrhea or infertility.
