What are the dangers of staying up late during menstruation?

When an adult woman has her menstrual period, it is a very normal physiological phenomenon. Some people have weak constitutions and will have more severe dysmenorrhea, while some people are relatively strong and their menstrual period does not affect their work and normal life. However, it is important to remember that women should never stay up late when they have their menstrual period. If you stay up late during your menstrual period, it will not only damage your skin, but also reduce your immune system.

The harm of staying up late during menstruation

1. Staying up late during menstruation will cause your immunity to decline faster

Women who stay up late during their menstrual period are more likely to feel tired and lack energy, and their body resistance decreases faster. People who already have weak resistance are also more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases such as colds, and digestive tract diseases such as gastrointestinal diseases.

2. Staying up late during menstruation will damage your skin more

Generally speaking, human skin is in the best condition between 10 pm and 2 am. Staying up late during menstruation can easily lead to endocrine disorders in women, and it can also affect the normal circulation of the nervous system. Endocrine disorders can aggravate dull skin, acne, chloasma and other problems; nervous system disorders can easily lead to dry skin, poor elasticity, loss of luster and other problems.

3. Staying up late during menstruation can cause irregular menstruation

During menstruation, women's endometrium will shed and bleed. Staying up late for a long time can easily affect the smoothness of menstrual blood, leading to irregular menstruation. Common symptoms include increased or decreased menstrual bleeding, and it may also cause the menstrual period to continue to last longer.

4. Staying up late during menstruation can easily cause cancer

Staying up late often disrupts the biological clock, which is particularly harmful to women's health. Women who stay up late for a long time will have disrupted sleep patterns, affecting normal cell division, leading to cell mutations and even cancer cells. Women who often stay up late are almost 70 times more likely to develop breast cancer than those who do not.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains the harm of staying up late

1. Midnight 23:00-1:00

It is the time when the gallbladder is on "duty" and the moment when the heart and kidney interact. Without rest, the phenomenon of "yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity" will occur.

2. Chou time 1:00-3:00

It is the time when the liver, which is responsible for storing blood, is on "duty". This is the reason why people who often stay up late are prone to getting angry.

3. Yin time 3:00-5:00

This is the time when the lungs are on "duty" and their vital energy is severely depleted. It is a catalyst for premature aging. The elderly are easily awakened at this time because of their old age and frailty.

4. Mao time 5:00-7:00

This is the time when the large intestine is in charge and toxins should be discharged through bowel movements. However, people who often stay up late fall asleep during this time and the toxins are not discharged. People who often stay up late will have two kinds of bowel movements: constipation or loose stools.

5. Chen time 7:00-9:00

It is the time when the stomach is "in charge". It should be the time for "taking yin to replenish yang" and the yang stomach and spleen should transport and transform yin food. People who stay up late will damage their stomach while still sleeping.

6. Si time 9:00-11:00

This is the time when the spleen is "in charge". The spleen converts beneficial substances in the food ingested by the stomach into nutrients for absorption by the small intestine, and sends the waste to the large intestine for excretion. Eating or not eating food during this period will damage the spleen. Therefore, most people who often stay up late have a "bad temper". For those who often stay up late and develop symptoms, it is necessary to use food therapy and the principle of "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy" of traditional Chinese medicine to improve the treatment. We cannot generalize and only supplement certain aspects of food and medicine, because the entire internal organ system of people who stay up late is disordered.

Things to note for girls during menstruation

So what you need to pay attention to at this time is not to drink cold water, not to use cold water to wash dishes and clothes, not to use cold water to wash your face, etc. No matter you are in the cold winter or the hot summer, please do not touch cold water during menstruation.

2. Don’t eat chili peppers during menstruation

Some women may be born with a spicy personality. They must eat chili peppers at every meal regardless of the consequences. And they eat a lot of chili peppers in their meals and dishes every day. However, although chili peppers are helpful to our body and can change our taste for food, you know that eating spicy food will definitely harm our body and cannot promote our body's detoxification, which will lead to stomach pain, dysmenorrhea and other conditions. Therefore, you must be careful not to eat spicy food during menstruation.

3. Do not do strenuous exercise during menstruation

During menstruation, you must not insist on running or morning exercises for the sake of exercising.
