Here is an in-depth analysis from an expert:

Causes of menstrual diarrhea

1. Spleen dysfunction: caused by diet, or other diseases that damage the spleen, or emotional imbalance, which damages the stomach and intestines. The spleen's digestion and absorption disorder causes loose stools during or before menstruation, or edema of the face and limbs, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc.

When the feet are heated, the blood circulation of the whole body will accelerate and the body temperature will increase. To a certain extent, it can warm the uterus and regulate the spleen and stomach.
