Unusual menstrual symptoms reported

Several individuals have reported experiencing unusual menstrual symptoms following recent demonstrations. These symptoms include unexpected periods, heavier bleeding, and increased pain, which are not typical for their usual menstrual cycles.

Personal accounts of menstrual changes

One individual stated that after taking the pill, they did not have their period, but it started the day after the demonstration with more pain than usual. Another person from Nantes mentioned having their period unexpectedly without any premenstrual syndrome symptoms and described it as the heaviest bleeding in their 32 years of menstrual cycles.

Exposure to tear gas mentioned

Some individuals reported exposure to tear gas during or after the demonstrations. One person noted that they were not directly gassed but were sent to a location later to search for students who had been affected, and they noticed the presence of tear gas in the air.

Possible health concerns raised

The reports have raised concerns about the potential health effects of tear gas on individuals, particularly its impact on the reproductive system. While the connection between tear gas and menstrual changes is not yet fully understood, some are seeking medical advice to address their symptoms.
