Advice for women’s cycles

What is the deal with our menstrual cycles. (Other than childbirth) It almost seems like a punishment in a way because it feels like a constant struggle to balance them and a monthly battle to go through. While men seem to be pretty balanced all the time. Is there anything we can do to help balance or use it to our advantage. And is it true that it is somehow linked with moon cycles? Just curious. Any help would be appreciated!!! 🙏
