Belly bulge during menstruation

During menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, blood stasis, and poor blood and qi discharge, it can cause lower abdominal pain and heaviness. If accompanied by pelvic inflammation or pelvic congestion syndrome, the abdominal distension symptoms will be aggravated. If you catch a cold or overwork during menstruation, or eat cold food, it can also cause lower abdominal pain. It is recommended to prevent cold and excessive fatigue during menstruation, and drink brown sugar, ginger water, jujube and wolfberry water.

Causes of belly bulge in women

1. Abdominal fat deposition

Many women gain weight around the waist first, resulting in the legendary "pear" and "apple" body shapes. Even many girls who originally had slender limbs have several circles of fat hidden on their abdomens, and their hips are much wider than ordinary people, becoming the "waistless" group.

If there are no other symptoms and the body fat is deposited in the abdomen, the most important reason is eating more and moving less. Especially for salarymen, who sit in the office for at least 6.5 hours a day, belly fat only accumulates and does not get rid of it. Over time, they settle down in the belly.

Can we underestimate the harm of abdominal obesity? It is the biggest risk factor for high blood pressure, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. Women with abdominal obesity may also be susceptible to a variety of diseases such as arthritis, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. It can be said that the consequences are at your own risk!

Therefore, you should reduce your belly as early as possible. The only true knowledge for losing belly fat is to eat less and exercise more.

Reduce your appetite, but make sure you can eat enough before you exercise vigorously. Such as insisting on running 2-3 times a week, and doing purposeful exercises such as sit-ups. Believe that in a few months, your belly will be flatter.

2. Influenced by genetic inheritance

Many characteristics of the human body can be attributed to genetic inheritance, and abdominal obesity is one of them. Take a look at your mother or other elderly women to see if they are apple-shaped or apple-shaped. If so, it is very likely that you will become more and more like them when you reach a certain age. To prevent this belly popping, you'll also need to engage in plenty of physical activity and limit your calorie intake.

3. Changes in estrogen

With the increase of age, women's estrogen secretion drops sharply and their metabolism slows down, and various physiological symptoms will follow. In addition to poor skin, the abdominal muscles will become loose, the body will become flabby, and the waist, abdomen, buttocks, and legs will all have unnecessary fat.

Such situations need to be improved through dietary health care.

Diet: Eat more foods that supplement estrogen. Like soybeans and various vegetables and fruits, they are rich in trace elements, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, etc., which not only have the effect of anti-aging, but also help adjust the imbalance of female hormones.

Health care: ensure 8 hours of good sleep every day, drink enough water, and do a good job of daily body detoxification. Secondly, moderate exercise, such as walking for more than 30 minutes a day, can improve the secretion level of estrogen.

4. Polycystic ovary syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease caused by complex endocrine and metabolic abnormalities in women of childbearing age. The main clinical symptoms are irregular menstrual cycle, infertility, excessive hair growth or acne, which is the most common female endocrine disease.

Generally speaking, polycystic ovary syndrome may cause lower abdominal obesity. If PCOS is not treated in time, it will cause many harms, such as secondary infertility, malaise, secondary malignant tumors, etc.

If you have the symptoms mentioned above, you must go to a reliable national hospital for examination and treatment. And cooperate with the doctor's instructions, eat and live a reasonable life.

5. Mental stress

There is a saying that goes, "If you have too many things in your mind, it will be difficult to lose weight." Although it has a bit of a sarcastic connotation, it does make sense.

A 19-year research project led by the School of Medicine of London University found that people's stress is directly proportional to their likelihood of obesity. A total of 6,895 men and 3,413 women participated in this scientific study, aged between 35 and 55 years old. Participants submitted three questionnaires on stress at regular intervals.

The results showed that in these three surveys, the more frequently the participants expressed "too much work stress", the more likely they were to be obese. Compared with participants who never felt stressed at work, participants who expressed "too much stress at work" once, twice, and three times had a 17%, 24%, and 73% higher likelihood of obesity, respectively. The survey report was also published in a foreign journal of clinical epidemiology.

If you have this type of abdominal obesity, you need to cooperate with the doctor for psychological counseling. Only by gradually getting rid of your psychological predicament, you will not lose your appetite and overeat, and return to a normal physiological state, and then you can lose weight.
