Severe numbness in hands and feet during menstruation

During menstruation, women's bodies are generally weak, so women at this time should pay attention to replenishing qi and blood, and get adequate rest, and avoid doing too strenuous exercise, otherwise it will aggravate dysmenorrhea. And during menstruation, women will also have many abnormal reactions in their bodies, but numbness in the hands and feet is relatively rare. So why do women's hands and feet become numb during menstruation?

1. What is the reason for numbness in hands and feet during menstruation?

The main reason is that your qi and blood deficiency causes the slowdown of blood metabolism, the low temperature causes blood vessels to contract, the blood return ability is weakened and blood circulation is poor! One reason is that the body lacks a certain vitamin (usually B vitamin B2).

Another type is internal heat caused by being too tired or having too many toxins in the body. You may have been exposed to cold, or you may be suffering from physical weakness, lack of exercise, and poor sleep quality. Your liver fire is too strong! Or you may be too depressed, have anemia, smoke and drink too much, spend too much time on the Internet, have too much stress and decreased physical strength. In addition, when there are large changes in temperature and humidity, a person's physical strength will decrease, and their resistance will decrease.

The most common symptoms are colds, coughs, dry mouth, stuffy nose, bitter taste, sore throat, fever, slight chills, body aches, headaches, etc. This is due to the suppression of cardiopulmonary function, insufficient oxygen supply to the body, excessive loss of body fluids, liver dysfunction causing endocrine disorders, and insufficient blood supply to the brain.

Regarding the problem of numbness in hands and feet during menstruation, it is caused by insufficient Qi and blood. Generally speaking, blood circulation is slower and metabolism is reduced. At this time, blood flow is blocked, and you will feel numbness in your hands and feet, and your resistance will decrease. The most common problems are colds, coughs, and dry mouth. These are very common problems. As long as we pay attention to diet and get more rest, we will be fine.
