The term “period” generally refers to a woman’s menstrual period. Lack of appetite during menstruation may be a normal phenomenon, mostly caused by fluctuating hormone levels.
During menstruation, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, leading to endocrine disorders and a lower basal metabolic rate, which in turn may affect gastrointestinal function, causing congestion of the gastrointestinal mucosa and abnormal secretion of digestive juices, resulting in loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
During menstruation, if the endometrium is not peeled off well and the pelvis is stagnant, leading to severe dysmenorrhea symptoms and unbearable pain in the lower abdomen, it may also cause poor appetite.
In addition, some women will experience emotional problems such as insomnia, anxiety and irritability under the influence of hormonal changes during menstruation, which may also affect appetite.
If the symptoms are serious, or if the symptoms do not improve, you should go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examinations, under the guidance of a professional doctor to clarify the cause of the disease, and actively targeted treatment.
