What happens when your aunt gets angry?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Many people experience mood swings before or during menstruation, which is usually a manifestation of premenstrual disorder syndrome. However, many people think this is normal and do not take it seriously, allowing it to develop freely. In fact, this is wrong. If you get angry for a long time during your menstrual period, it will cause great harm to your body. So what are the specific harms? Let’s learn more about it.

Dangers of getting angry during menstruation:

1. Cause irregular menstruation

Emotional changes and tension can affect the level of reproductive hormones. Long-term depression, sulking or bad mood may lead to ovulation inhibition and cycle disorders.

2. It is more likely to develop spots

When you get angry during menstruation, a large amount of blood rushes to your head, so the oxygen in the blood decreases and the toxins increase. The toxins will stimulate the hair follicles, causing varying degrees of inflammation around the hair follicles, resulting in pigmentation problems.

3. Accelerate the aging of brain cells

When you get angry during menstruation, a large amount of blood rushes to the brain, which increases the pressure on the cerebral blood vessels. At this time, the blood contains the most toxins and the least oxygen, which is no less than a dose of "poison" to brain cells.

4. Gastric ulcer

Being angry during menstruation can cause sympathetic nerve excitement and directly act on the heart and blood vessels, reducing blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract, slowing peristalsis, and worsening appetite. In severe cases, it can even cause gastric ulcers.

5. Damage to the lungs

When people are angry, they breathe rapidly, which may cause gas reversal, lung bloating, asthma and cough, which are harmful to the health of the lungs. When people are in a state of anger and depression, it may cause liver qi stagnation, liver and gallbladder disharmony, and liver pain.

6. Breast injury

It is also called breast lumps. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by emotional injury, liver depression and phlegm stagnation, phlegm and blood stasis in the breasts, and also by Chong and Ren disorders, qi stagnation and phlegm stagnation.

How to take care of yourself during menstruation:

1. Avoid fatigue:

You can go to work as usual during your menstrual period, but you should avoid strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor, because excessive physical labor or strenuous exercise can cause increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period.

2. Pay attention to your diet:

During menstruation, you should try to eat less irritating foods, such as raw, cold, spicy, and alcoholic foods, and drink plenty of water to keep your bowels open and reduce symptoms of pelvic congestion.

3. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene:

During menstruation, women should pay attention to the cleanliness of their external genitalia, avoid taking baths or gynecological examinations, and should refrain from sexual intercourse.

4. Keep warm during menstruation:

If women catch a cold, it is easy to cause ovarian dysfunction, which can cause menstrual disorders. Cold stimulation during menstruation can cause the uterus and pelvic blood vessels to contract, resulting in women experiencing reduced menstruation or dysmenorrhea.

5. Get enough sleep:

During menstruation, women should pay proper attention to rest, get enough sleep, pay attention to emotional regulation, and avoid negative emotions. Some women may experience symptoms such as lower limb swelling, back pain, breast tenderness, and mild diarrhea during their menstrual period. This is normal and there is no need to worry too much.
