The dangers of women working night shifts

Many professions require working late at night, such as nurses, doctors and other professions that require being on duty around the clock. However, if you work night shifts frequently, the reversal of day and night will have a great impact on your metabolism, because the human body usually excretes toxins when it rests at night. Especially for women who often work night shifts, the physical harm is particularly great. Today I will introduce to you the physical harm of often working night shifts to women.

1. The harm of women working night shifts

1. Impaired gastrointestinal function

Because gastrointestinal motility slows down at night, the night meal eaten during the night shift will stay in the stomach for a long time, prompting a large amount of gastric juice to be secreted. The gastric mucosa is stimulated by gastric acid for a long time. Over time, it may cause indigestion or even erosion of the gastric mucosa and ulcers.

2. Cause temporary infertility

Women of childbearing age who often work night shifts will not only affect their mental state the next day, but also cause a decrease in immunity, which may affect the secretion of estrogen and the quality of eggs, leading to temporary infertility.

3. Affects skin health

Women who often work night shifts do not get good skin care. This is because the body secretes more growth hormone during sleep, which can promote skin cell regeneration and make people radiant. On the contrary, staying up late often may cause women's skin to become rough and yellowish, and sex hormone secretion disorders in the body; it can also worsen blood circulation around the eyes, leading to dark circles and bags under the eyes.

4. Cause gynecological diseases

If women stay up late and work overtime for a long time, it will change the body's original biological clock, thereby disrupting the body's life rhythm and causing endocrine dysfunction, which in turn affects women's ovulation cycle, irregular menstruation, unbalanced progesterone secretion, and even uterine fibroids, endometrial lesions, breast lesions, etc.
