Can women with irregular menstruation drink alcohol?

Nowadays, many women have the habit of drinking alcohol in their daily lives. They need to drink some whether they are having a dinner party or working. However, some women suffer from symptoms of irregular menstruation, and they worry that drinking alcohol will have a greater impact on their menstruation. So is it suitable for them to drink alcoholic beverages? Next, the editor will make a detailed analysis of this, let’s take a look together.

It is best for women not to drink alcohol when they are menstruating, especially when they have symptoms of irregular menstruation. This is because alcohol is very harmful to the body and has a great impact on the liver. Before menstruation, the time of drunkenness will be prolonged. Women are more likely to cause liver damage and alcohol poisoning than men and are more susceptible to the harm of alcohol.

Women have fewer enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism in their bodies, so their ability to break down acetaldehyde is weaker. In addition, before menstruation, due to the influence of female hormone secretion, the secretion of alcohol-degrading enzymes will also decrease, and the rate of alcohol decomposition will be reduced, so that the alcohol cannot be excreted and instead becomes an acidic substance. The possibility of causing liver dysfunction increases.

Even if they drink alcohol during menstruation, women are half as likely as men to suffer liver damage or alcohol poisoning. Because women lack decomposition enzymes in their bodies during menstruation, if they drink too much at once, the time of drunkenness will be prolonged and the feeling or symptoms of drunkenness will be more severe. This is why drinking during menstruation is addictive and can easily lead to alcohol poisoning. In addition, during menstruation, due to constant bleeding, the body is weak and the resistance is poor. Drinking alcohol will speed up blood circulation, which may lead to increased menstrual flow. If you drink cold beer, it may also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, in principle, you should avoid drinking liquor when your period is approaching or during your period.

Therefore, women should strictly avoid drinking alcohol during irregular menstruation, and should not drink any beverages containing alcohol or other ingredients, otherwise it may aggravate their symptoms. In addition, if the menstrual irregularity is severe, timely treatment is required, and it is best to use Chinese patent medicine to avoid adverse reactions.
