What causes constipation before menstruation?

Constipation is a very common thing in daily life. Although constipation can be embarrassing, if you have this problem, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and take good care of your body. After all, frequent constipation is harmful to the human body, and it is also a torture for those who pursue beautiful girls. However, some people want to know: Do women suffer from constipation before menstruation?

1. Will you be constipated before your period?

Excessive weight loss: In this age where thinness is considered beautiful, many women try their best to lose weight. Among them, many women choose to eat less or skip meals in order to lose weight quickly. However, insufficient food intake will cause a buildup of sediment in the stomach, which will not be able to stimulate the intestinal cavity to moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements. Over time, women will suffer from premenstrual constipation.

Taking laxatives frequently: Some women may suffer from constipation on a regular basis. In order to relieve constipation, some women will choose to take some medicine, which will cause the stomach and intestines to lose the ability to move independently and cause dependence on laxatives. Taking laxatives during menstruation may affect menstruation. If women stop taking the medicine at this time, the symptoms of constipation will be aggravated.

Too little exercise: With the development of technology, many things in our daily life can be handled through mobile phones, which has caused some women to become more and more lazy. However, lack of exercise will lead to reduced intestinal motility, thus causing constipation. Some women think that they are about to have their period, so they pay attention to rest, which will cause the intestinal peristalsis rate to become slower and slower, and finally aggravate the symptoms of constipation.

2. What are the causes of constipation during menstruation in children and adolescents?

1. Due to poor diet structure, the reflex or acid stimulation of food is insufficient, or because the food intake is too little or too fine, especially the lack of food that leaves a lot of residues, the gastrointestinal irritation is reduced, the reflex intestinal peristalsis is weakened, and constipation occurs.

2. Changes in lifestyle, poor bowel movements, frequent use of laxatives and cleansing enemas can all lead to a decrease in the sensitivity of the duodenal reflex surface, so that even if feces enter, it cannot generate effective nerve impulses, making it impossible to produce the defecation reflex surface and causing constipation.

3. Depression or over-excitement may hinder the classical conditioning reflex and cause constipation.

4. An unhealthy lifestyle, poor rest, and continuous high-ratio mental stress can also lead to intestinal peristalsis disorders and spasm of the sigmoid colon, causing constipation.

Therefore, children should pay attention to the following aspects during the period of constipation:

1. Chinese herbal teas that promote digestion, such as hawthorn berry, cassia seed tea, and senna leaf tea, are very effective in improving constipation. In severe cases, you can use medicines that can dissolve heat, resolve stagnation, warm the yang and eliminate fullness, such as coptis chinensis, sodium sulfate, fructus aurantii, magnolia bark, peach kernel, etc., to make a decoction for consumption.

2. Try to avoid eating spicy and hot ingredients, such as chili peppers, beef, etc.

3. Boiled water, fruit juice and pure honey are all helpful in preventing constipation.

4. If constipation is not obvious in the early stages, it can be improved by changing your lifestyle and eating more fruits and vegetables rich in cellulose, such as bananas, lettuce, cabbage, etc.

5. Regular consumption of fresh fruits during menstruation can prevent constipation, prevent pelvic congestion, and promote continuous weight loss during the menstrual period. However, some fruits with cold properties are not suitable for consumption during menstruation.
