“Auntie” generally refers to menstruation, and the desire to overeat before menstruation may be caused by the body’s reserve energy, changes in hormone levels, endocrine disorders and other factors.
1. The body reserves energy: During menstruation, the body loses a lot of blood, so before menstruation, the body will reserve nutrients and energy for the menstrual period.
2. Hormone level change: the level of progesterone or estrogen will change before menstruation, which will cause faster intestinal peristalsis, increased secretion of digestive enzymes, and stimulate the appetite, thus causing the feeling of wanting to overeat.
3. Endocrine disorders: Before menstruation, endocrine disorders lead to an imbalance of sex hormones, causing disorders of the hypothalamus, increasing appetite and the phenomenon of overeating.
It is normal to overeat before menstruation, but it is recommended to avoid overeating before menstruation so as not to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause gastrointestinal discomfort. If other symptoms occur before menstruation, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
