For all female friends, there are about three things that are more important every month:
Aunt is coming… Why hasn’t aunt come yet? !
Menstruation is here… … …
Aunt finally left! ! !
Among them, many people will change their bodies and emotions to varying degrees before menstruation comes, such as diarrhea, breast pain, depression, etc.
So are these changes normal? Come on, see what Dr. Clove said today.
Every time menstruation comes, she has diarrhea. What’s going on?
Don’t worry, this is not a disease, stomachache, diarrhea, etc. It is because the body’s prostaglandin level has changed during menstruation.
The thing is this-
Before menstruation came, endometrial cells would produce a large amount of hormone called prostaglandin, which has many functions, one of which is to stimulate smooth muscle contraction.
This smooth muscle is found in the uterus and intestinal tract of the human body. Prostaglandin stimulates the uterus, which will cause the uterus to contract and then discharge menstrual blood. However, stimulating the intestinal tract will increase intestinal peristalsis, which will increase and defecation will naturally be smooth.
Not only that, prostaglandins can also make some female friends feel headache, nausea, vomiting, etc.
If diarrhea and other conditions are not too serious, rest or moderate exercise will generally improve. However, if the situation is serious, it is not possible to endure it. You should go to the hospital for examination in time.
Is it normal that there are always a few days of breast pain every month?
Normal! This distending pain is caused by changes in estrogen levels in the body before menstruation.
Most women often suffer from breast swelling before menstruation comes, some may feel pain, and some may feel lumps of different sizes when touching breasts.
This is because about half a month before menstruation came, the ovary began to ovulate, estrogen secretion increased, and then progesterone secretion also increased. After these hormones act on breast acini and ducts, they will lead to breast pain or small pimples.
After menstruation left, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body decreased, breast tissue returned to normal state, and distending pain and other uncomfortable feelings disappeared.
However, if it is very painful and affects the normal life, or if the pain lasts longer than the menstrual period, it is recommended to go to the breast surgery department for examination within 3-5 days after menstruation leaves.
Baffling unhappy, grumpy and picky?
Such a big mood fluctuation also mostly comes from the fluctuation of estrogen and progesterone levels in the body, so we should accept and actively deal with it.
This matter has to start with the ovulation period.
After the follicle ovulates normally, the previous follicle will form a tissue called corpus luteum, whose function is to secrete estrogen and progesterone. At this time, the endometrium can continue to grow only by the stimulation of these hormones.
After enough estrogen and progesterone are secreted, The corpus luteum will stop secreting, quickly shrink, the whole body estrogen and progesterone will also drop to the lowest level, and this happens to be the premenstrual period. At this time, women are like fish who have been in the water and left the water at once. Naturally, they will appear restless, depressed, easily angry and other emotions.
However, everyone’s sensitivity and self-coping style are different, so the degree of response will be different.
In this way, there is also a reason why menstruation will have so many changes before she comes. A careful understanding of these changes and trying to accept them can help female friends get along better with menstruation. When they come, they will settle down and don’t abandon menstruation any more ~
