      We found that women living in these three countries who had higher levels of chemicals in their bodies experienced longer menstrual periods. While there wasn't clear statistical evidence showing the relationship between menstruation and these chemicals, we observed that menstruation tended to become more irregular with higher chemical exposure levels, says Julie Lyngsø from the Department of Occupational Medicine at Aarhus University Hospital.
