Does menstruation reduce immunity?

Generally speaking, women's immunity is relatively poor during their menstrual period and before and after their menstrual period, especially if they have poor physical fitness. Then when women have their periods, their body's immune system will be reduced to a certain extent. The key reason is:

First of all, at this time, the body's estrogen and progesterone levels are at the lowest level in the entire physiological cycle, and the body's ability to respond to external stress will be reduced to a certain extent. Therefore, if you do not pay attention to anti-freeze, sleep well, etc. during your period, it is easy to get symptoms such as fever and cold.

In addition, there are certain bacteria in the vagina, and a small amount of mucus plug will appear in the cervix, which helps to prevent the bacteria in the vagina from rising into the uterine cavity and causing infection. However, when menstruation comes, there is bleeding due to exfoliation of the uterine wall, and the barrier function of the cervical mucus plug disappears, and it is relatively easy for vaginal bacteria to rise into the uterine cavity and cause infection.

Therefore, when you have your period, you must pay attention to a regular schedule and improve your immunity.
