Can I drink beer during menstruation? Why?

Under normal circumstances, consuming a moderate amount of beer is very good for the human body, but you cannot drink beer during menstruation. Because during menstruation, women's body metabolic capacity is relatively low and the digestion of alcohol is very slow, so it is not suitable to drink beer during menstruation.

It is best not to drink alcohol during the menstrual period, because before and during the menstrual period, women are affected by hormone secretion, the activity of the body's decomposition enzymes is low, and the ability to metabolize alcohol decreases. As a result, alcohol is not easily excreted from the blood quickly. Therefore, it is easy to get drunk during the menstrual period and the burden on the liver will increase, which increases the possibility of liver dysfunction. In addition, during menstruation, due to constant bleeding, the body is weak and the resistance is poor. Drinking alcohol will speed up blood circulation, which may lead to increased menstrual flow and may also cause dysmenorrhea. In principle, women are prohibited from drinking alcohol during menstruation, but they can drink a small amount of wine, not more than 50ml.

During menstruation, women's systemic and local resistance is reduced. In order to prevent menstrual disorders or other women's diseases, the following aspects must be paid attention to:

1. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene; during menstruation, the endometrium has wounds and ascending infection should be prevented. The vulva should be kept clean and washed with warm water once a day. The basin and towel used to clean the vulva must be clean. It is not advisable to take a sitz bath. It is best to take a shower, but do not rinse. Menstrual pads should be soft and highly absorbent. They should be changed frequently and menstrual belts should be washed and dried frequently. Swimming should be avoided during menstruation.

2. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive physical activity. Because the pelvic cavity is congested during menstruation, strenuous activities can increase the degree of pelvic congestion and cause increased menstruation, lower abdominal distension and pain, and other discomforts.

3. Avoid catching cold, do not eat spicy foods such as chili peppers and alcohol, and pay attention to keeping warm and rest.

4. Maintain a good mood and avoid mood swings.
