What is the cause of diarrhea?

People know that menstrual cramps are common, and this is a relatively normal thing. But some people may not understand what diarrhea during menstruation means. But it is true that some people are prone to diarrhea when they have their period. So why do women have diarrhea during their period? Let me tell you about it today.

For such symptoms, the cause can be summarized in one sentence - deficiency of Qi and blood. When the menstrual period comes, the limited Qi and blood are mobilized, and the stomach and intestines become increasingly deficient in Qi and blood, resulting in weakened functions. Diarrhea is not unexpected. To give a very common example, when your savings are insufficient and you need to buy big-ticket items, you have to save money in other areas. As a result, the quality of your clothes decreases and you go out less often. Under the premise that the total amount of Qi and blood is certain, the use of Qi and blood is a process of increase and decrease. If a certain organ uses more, other organs will cut back accordingly. Unless you have sufficient Qi and blood, you can ensure that each organ has enough Qi and blood to support daily operations, and even have enough spare Qi and blood to deal with sudden or large-scale events, such as menstruation.

Once the principle is clear, the next step is to find the right medicine. Don’t think that you need to take western medicine, health products or take Chinese medicine prescriptions. The treatment is actually very simple and the materials are very convenient: soak your feet every night; eat more red dates and longans; drink more brown sugar water; refuse cold drinks, control the intake of cold foods, eat seasonal vegetables, fruits and melons; go to bed early.

Soaking your feet is to promote blood circulation and speed up detoxification; red dates, longans, and brown sugar water are good helpers to replenish qi and blood; refuse cold drinks, control the intake of cold foods, and eat seasonal vegetables, fruits and melons to create a warm internal environment. Warmth is a very important factor for a woman, and a warm environment is needed during the monthly menstrual period. Only when a person is warm can the body function healthily; going to bed early gives the body enough time to produce blood and repair internal organs. Especially red dates, which can be brewed into tea, cooked into porridge, or simply chewed and eaten raw. Ultimately, you need to review your own living habits, and gradually correct any wrong habits in a direction that suits your body and conforms to nature. As long as you persist, your body will tell you whether you are doing it right! Don't just stick to a method for three or five days and then say that it's ineffective; don't eat blood-enriching foods while partying every night and staying up late, then say that this food is not suitable for you; don't want to solve the problem while consuming cold drinks, then complain that once this problem develops, it will be difficult to cure. Change your perspective, reflect on yourself, treat your body well, and your body will definitely reward you with a generous gift.

The above is an introduction to why women suffer from diarrhea during their period. If this happens to you, don’t be careless. If the symptoms do not improve, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.
