Will I gain weight during my period?

Many female friends often find that sometimes they lose weight faster in a month, and sometimes they gain weight again. In fact, we don't need to be too anxious, it is entirely possible that it is caused by the estrogen in the body. So, does it really make you heavier if you rest before your period?

Generally speaking, a woman's body will have more water and weight gain due to estrogen about a week before her period, but the body's water level will remain at a normal level at other times, especially in the week after her period, when her metabolism is faster and her weight will increase significantly.

The weight of girls before and after menstruation changes like this: in the week before menstruation, due to the increased secretion of luteinizing hormone, the fat in the body is more likely to accumulate. The body also suffers from edema, and the weight will increase by about two kilograms. During menstruation, the normal duration is about a week, and there is continuous bleeding in the uterus. In addition, the estrogen level in the body is relatively low, and the weight also decreases.

After menstruation, due to faster metabolism, the body's luteinizing hormone is relatively low, and the body's weight will increase by about two kilograms. However, female friends should not worry about the weight gain during this period. As long as they have a normal diet, exercise moderately, and maintain health at all times, it will be beneficial to the body.

During the menarche period, women may gain weight. Due to changes in female hormones, some women may also experience hypokalemia, which can lead to weight gain, but only slightly, generally around 0.5-1kg. As the menstrual period gradually ends, this phenomenon will gradually disappear.

It is recommended that during menstruation, you should pay attention to your diet. You can drink more water to speed up the body's metabolism, which may reduce the weight gain during menstruation. In addition, eat less cold, spicy and other irritating foods. In addition, during the menstrual period, if a woman does not have discomfort such as menstrual cramps, pays attention to adequate rest during the menstrual period, and has adequate nutrition, she will generally experience a slight increase in weight.
