Drinking affects menstruation

As we all know, there are many things that women cannot do during their menstrual period. If they accidentally do something that is not suitable for them during their menstrual period, it can easily affect their physical health, leading to irregular menstruation or various gynecological diseases. Many women want to know whether drinking alcohol will affect their menstruation. In fact, drinking has a relatively large impact on women during menstruation. Here we will introduce relevant knowledge to you!

Before and during menstruation, women are affected by hormone secretion, which reduces the activity of enzymes in their bodies and reduces their ability to metabolize alcohol. As a result, alcohol cannot be excreted from the blood quickly, and instead becomes an "acidic substance" that is harmful to the body. In order to remove these acidic substances, the liver has to continuously produce enzymes, which will increase the burden on the liver and increase the possibility of liver dysfunction.

Drinking during menstruation can easily lead to addiction and alcohol poisoning. Because it is during menstruation, women's bodies lack decomposition enzymes and their ability to metabolize alcohol decreases. If your metabolism slows down, you will spend more time in a drunken state and feel more drunk. If you drink too much, you will be drunk for a long time, which may even become the trigger of alcohol poisoning. When it comes to drinking, women are half as likely as men to suffer liver damage or alcohol poisoning from drinking during menstruation.

In addition, during menstruation, the body is constantly bleeding, and the resistance is poor. Drinking alcohol will speed up blood circulation and may cause increased menstrual flow. If you drink cold beer, it may also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, experts remind that women should refrain from drinking alcohol when approaching or during menstruation. Of course, you can drink a small amount of wine (about 50ml is appropriate), but not too much.

The above is an introduction to some of the harms that drinking during menstruation can cause to women’s bodies. Women should take extra care of themselves during menstruation and put caring for themselves into practice at the most fundamental level. During menstruation, many women are afraid of the cold and want to drink alcohol to warm themselves up, but they don’t know that increasing dampness and heat in the body can easily cause and aggravate gynecological inflammation. Therefore, it is best not to drink alcohol during menstruation, and it is best to only taste red wine in moderation.
