Is it normal to feel cold during menstruation?

Menstruation is something that every woman has to experience every month. The menstrual symptoms and conditions of each woman are very different. However, many women will feel cold all over a few days before their period. The coldness makes them feel like they are having a chill all over their body. So what is the reason for feeling cold all over a few days before menstruation? The following key points will explain it in detail.

1. Normal manifestation: Generally speaking, feeling cold a few days before menstruation is a normal manifestation. It is caused by excessive blood loss during menstruation and endocrine changes in the human body. It is a normal manifestation. If it is caused by this reason, it is recommended to keep warm during menstruation, eat more moist and hot foods during menstruation, drink more hot water, and don’t crave cold foods. At the same time, you can place a hot compress bag or hand warmer on the abdomen, or use moxa sticks to burn the lower abdomen.

2. Uterine cold: One of the reasons for feeling cold all over a few days before menstruation is uterine cold. The actual symptoms are menstrual pain, cold lower abdomen, and body cold. These cold symptoms will disappear as the menstrual volume decreases and the menstrual period ends completely. If this is the reason, you should pay attention to keeping the body warm during the menstrual period and take some medicines to treat uterine cold.

3. The iron content in the blood is too low: The problem that occurs during menstruation is that the iron content in the blood is too low. Iron is an important component in the production of hemoglobin. If the iron content in the body decreases, the hemoglobin concentration will naturally decrease. This is also the reason why you feel cold all over a few days before menstruation.

4. Qi deficiency and blood deficiency: When the menstrual period comes, the female body's resistance is too weak. If women with poor health do not pay attention to keeping warm, if they eat raw and cold food, they will feel cold all over due to Qi deficiency and blood deficiency.

Many women have experienced feeling cold all over a few days before menstruation. Women should not worry after it happens. This is generally a normal phenomenon. In addition, uterine cold, low iron content in the blood, qi deficiency and blood deficiency are all causes of coldness.
