Weight gain during menstruation is considered to be menstrual syndrome, which may be caused by fluctuating hormone levels and accelerated metabolism.
1. Hormone level fluctuation: during menstruation, hormone levels in the body will fluctuate significantly, manifesting as a relative increase in estrogen and a lack of progesterone, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone, which in turn will cause sodium retention, and therefore a rise in body weight during menstruation will occur.
2. Accelerated metabolism: the metabolism of the whole body during menstruation is relatively fast, and there may be an increase in diet, resulting in too much energy in the body, and too much energy will be converted into fat accumulation in the body, which in turn will cause weight gain.
In addition to weight gain during menstruation, symptoms such as diarrhea, frequent urination, headache and constipation may also occur.
To summarize, women need to strengthen the daily life management during menstruation, rationally match the meals, ensure a balanced intake of various nutrients, pay more attention to rest, and keep the pubic area clean and hygienic. If the discomfort is obvious, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
