What causes weight changes during menstruation?

Once girls reach puberty, they will have menstruation. So what about menstruation? Sometimes the changes in the menstrual period are different every day. At this time, many people may have a certain understanding of their menstruation. After understanding it, they know how to better protect themselves or protect menstrual hygiene. Let's take a look at it together. What is the trend during the menstrual period?

Menstrual period (Day 1 to Day 7)

This stage is when female friends "good friends" come to visit, which lasts about 7 days. At this time, the concentrations of estrogen and progesterone in the body are very low, the endometrium begins to peel off and bleed, and you will find that your weight begins to drop. Many people believe that eating sweets such as chocolate, sweet red bean soup, etc. during this period will not make them fat. In fact, the calories of these foods have not changed, and they will not be converted into calories less because of the menstrual period. It is only because of the "physiological" weight loss during this period that people have the illusion that they will not gain weight. However, if you eat sweets without restraint during this period, you will still gain weight!

(Day 8~Day 14)

This period is about one week after the end of menstruation. At this time, the body begins to secrete large amounts of estrogen, while the concentration of progesterone is still very low. In addition to the previous weight of the endometrium, because the progesterone concentration in the body is very low, not too much water will be retained in the body, so female friends will find that their weight drops particularly quickly. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, but it does not mean that you have achieved "successful weight loss". Many people will lose 1 to 2 kilograms from the first day of their menstrual period to before ovulation, and they think they have successfully lost weight; however, don’t be too happy too soon, because after a few days, when your body enters the ovulation period, you will find yourself gaining weight again due to hormones.

In fact, after reading these, I believe everyone will have a certain understanding of their own body and menstrual status. Then with such understanding, I believe everyone will protect themselves better during menstruation in the future. At this time, you should pay attention to your own hygiene, do not let gynecological diseases infect your body, and do not eat too cold things, which are not good for your body.
