The reason why my aunt has diarrhea during her period

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon of women. It is regulated by the reproductive hormone system and occurs approximately once a month. It is what people often call "period". During menstruation, many physiological changes will occur, and there will also be some minor problems. For example, some women may suffer from diarrhea during this period. So what is the reason for diarrhea during menstruation? Let's talk about this issue below.

1. Diarrhea.

This type of friends usually suffer from poor digestion, often have bloating in the stomach, gastrointestinal problems, or are too worried and tired in life, and their stools are usually loose and unformed. Cold hands and feet are common, the body is either too thin or too fat, and the body tends to swell and feel weak before menstruation. The tongue is fat, with teeth marks on the edges and a greasy white coating on the surface. If you have these symptoms on a daily basis and also have diarrhea during menstruation, it just tells you that your spleen is weak and you need to take good care of your spleen and stomach and pay attention to nutrition. At this time, the previously mentioned Shenling Baizhu Pills, Baizi Yangxin Pills, Buzhong Yiqi Pills... come in handy. If you have diarrhea and stomach pain during menstruation, and like warm food or hot compresses, and like to massage your stomach, it is mostly due to weak spleen and stomach. You should take Fuzi Lizhong Pills or Shiquan Dabu Pills to warm the spleen and replenish qi on a daily basis. It is also good to drink ginger, brown sugar and jujube soup regularly one week before menstruation.

2. Kidney deficiency

Most cases of diarrhea occur during and after menstruation. Kidney deficiency can be congenital, or it can be caused by a stressful life, too much pressure, or too frequent sexual intercourse, which leads to kidney fatigue and insufficient yang energy. If the spleen and stomach are compared to a pot on the stove, then the kidney yang is the fire under the pot. If the fire is not strong enough, the food you eat will easily be half-cooked and difficult to absorb. Therefore, if the kidneys are not healthy, the spleen will also suffer and need to be treated together. This type of diarrhea often occurs early in the morning, with watery stools and sore waist and weak legs when you wake up in the morning. On weekdays, you may feel dizzy, have sore eyes, tinnitus, and feel cold all over. The menstrual flow is small and light in color. For kidney yang deficiency, you can use kidney-tonifying exercises on a daily basis; or frequently apply moxibustion on Mingmen, Tianshu, Guanyuan, Qihai, Zusanli, Hegu and other places. Moxibustion can warm the meridians and dredge the collaterals, and it can also be used for spleen deficiency. Si Shen Wan and Qiang Shen Tablets are available as ready-made medicines. The most important thing is to relieve stress and tension and change bad living habits.

3. Diarrhea before or during menstruation due to liver stagnation.

This symptom is somewhat similar to simple spleen deficiency. How to determine whether it is the liver or the spleen? First, see if your emotions fluctuate greatly before menstruation, and your temper is like dry firewood that can be ignited at any time. You may fuss over a trivial matter that seems trivial on a normal day; or you may feel sad easily, inexplicably upset, have mood swings, get anxious, and be particularly impatient with others. "Irritability" can be used to sum up all your premenstrual behaviors. Premenstrual breast pain, frequent waking at night, accompanied by dizziness, migraines, and acne. Some people also have constant dry mouth, and drinking water doesn't help. Spleen deficiency can easily cause bloating in the stomach area, while liver depression can cause bloating in the chest and ribs, as well as shortness of breath. In fact, most of the time it is due to liver depression leading to spleen deficiency, so the above-mentioned areas are actually swollen. During menstruation, the blood is dark red, often with dark blood clots and dysmenorrhea. Since there is liver depression, the method of soothing the liver and regulating qi and tapping the belt meridian that we mentioned before will be very useful. We should release the waste gas through this method in time on a daily basis, and don't let them block the liver and gallbladder meridians. In addition, we can cooperate with Yanglingquan, Taichong, Taibai and other important acupoints for dissipating qi to thoroughly soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen.

From the above description, we can see that there are many reasons for diarrhea during menstruation. Maybe it is just common diarrhea, which is generally no big problem. Other reasons may be kidney deficiency, liver depression, premenstrual, or menstrual diarrhea. If you are not sure what the cause is, you should see a doctor if necessary.
