What happens if you drink alcohol during your period?

Nowadays, more and more young women like to drink, which is understandable. But whether or not to drink alcohol during menstruation troubles many women. It is best not to drink alcohol during menstruation because it will cause great harm to the body. What will happen if you drink alcohol during menstruation? Let us now understand the dangers of drinking during menstruation. I hope the following content can serve as a wake-up call for everyone to pay attention to this issue.

Alcohol can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and cause menstrual irregularities. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25%-32% go to the hospital for treatment due to irregular menstruation. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 mg of strong liquor, the incidence of irregular menstruation is three times that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.

Before and during menstruation, women are affected by hormone secretion, which reduces the activity of the body's decomposition enzymes and reduces the ability to metabolize alcohol. As a result, alcohol is not easily excreted from the blood quickly, but instead becomes an "acidic substance" that is harmful to the body. In order to remove these acidic substances, the liver must continuously produce enzymes. As a result, the burden on the liver will be increased, making it more likely to cause liver dysfunction.

It has been reported that women are half as likely as men to suffer liver damage or alcohol poisoning from drinking during menstruation. 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. Of course, you can drink a small amount of wine (about 50ml is appropriate), but not too much.

What happens if you drink alcohol during your period? After reading the above, you must have known the answer. As women, we are prone to gynecological diseases, which affect our health. We must learn to protect ourselves and give ourselves a healthy body to welcome a better future. I hope everyone can pay attention to this and start maintaining their health from the small things in life.
