What causes swollen eyes before menstruation?

Many women will have certain symptoms before their period, reminding them that their period is coming, so they will make certain precautions and preparations. However, because everyone's physique is different, the phenomena are also different. One of the more common phenomena is that the eyes will become swollen before menstruation.

1. Causes of swollen eyes before menstruation

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women, but it is sometimes accompanied by various physical discomforts. In addition to the well-known dysmenorrhea and functional uterine bleeding, edema may also occur. Premenstrual edema occurs because the increase in estrogen levels in the body before menstruation causes sodium and water retention. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called menstrual edema or edema all over the body during menstruation. It is mostly due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, poor qi transformation, and poor water and moisture transportation, or due to liver qi stagnation and poor blood circulation.

2. Diagnosis of premenstrual eye swelling

Premenstrual edema. This type of edema is mostly related to changes in the menstrual cycle and endocrine function, and is a normal physiological phenomenon. Before a woman's menstrual period, her eyes may become swollen due to congestion in the pelvic cavity and compression of the lower limbs by the enlarged uterus, which affects blood circulation. In addition, during women's menstrual cycle, the body's water metabolism becomes worse due to the influence of estrogen. When menstruation comes, the amount of urine increases, and edema and other symptoms will gradually subside.

The above is an introduction to the reasons for swollen eyes before menstruation. Our best method is to find out the cause first and then prescribe the right medicine, so that the effect will be more obvious. The swelling before menstruation is caused by the disorder of blood circulation. Menstruation can help us detoxify and beautify our skin. During menstruation, our body is relatively weak, so it is best for us to rest and recuperate at home.
