女同胞們有沒有覺得每個月有一段時間特別想逛街，有時候又完全沒有逛街購物的欲望呢？有研究說，逛街購物的欲望跟生理期也有關系呢。

A study finds that in the 10 days before their periods began women were more likely to go on a spending spree, which is called shopping period. Psychologists believe shopping could be a way for premenstrual women to deal with the negative emotions created by their hormonal changes.

一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，女性在生理期到來前十天更易大肆購物，這種現(xiàn)象叫做“購物生理期”。心理學家認為，購物可能是女性應對生理期到來前因荷爾蒙變化而產(chǎn)生的負面情緒的一種方法。

Women are buying items to make themselves feel more attractive - coinciding with the time of ovulation when they are most fertile, typically around 14 days before the start of a period. Most of the purchases made by the women were for adornment, including jewelry, make-up and high heels.

女性傾向于在排卵期，即生理期到來前14天左右，購買一些讓自己更有魅力的產(chǎn)品。她們在這期間購買的大部分都是裝飾類物品，比如珠寶、化妝品以及高跟鞋等。
