Weight gain during menstruation may be caused by factors such as increased estrogen and progesterone in the body and a high-calorie diet.
When weight gain occurs during menstruation, it is considered to be caused by increased levels of estrogen and progesterone in the female body during menstruation. When the level of estrogen and progesterone increases, water and sodium retention will occur in the body, which will lead to edema, so women will have weight gain during menstruation.
In addition, if a woman does not moderate her diet during menstruation and eats a lot of foods high in sugar and fat, such as cream cakes, fried chicken and fatty meats, etc., the calories may not be able to be consumed and thus be converted into fat to accumulate in the body and cause obesity.
Women’s weight gain during menstruation may be a normal physiological phenomenon caused by elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone, or it may be caused by poor eating habits. It is recommended that menstruating women take proper rest and develop healthy eating habits.
