It is very common to have diarrhea during menstruation. The reasons can be divided into three categories, the first two of which are the most common. Some female friends have written to us and wondered why they had diarrhea during their menstrual period even though they didn't eat anything inappropriate. In fact, in addition to eating habits, there are other factors. 1. Traditional Chinese Medicine: Poor physical conditioning is prone to diarrhea during menstruation Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women with weak constitutions, cold hands and feet will have particularly sensitive stomachs during menstruation, and can easily develop diarrhea with the slightest stimulation. In addition, if you do not pay attention to your diet on a daily basis, like to eat raw and cold food, and do not take special precautions during menstruation, it can easily affect your gastrointestinal function and cause symptoms of diarrhea during menstruation. 2. Western medicine: Prostaglandins affect the stomach and intestines Before a woman's menstrual period, her uterus secretes a large amount of prostaglandins, which allow the uterus to contract and stop bleeding during menstruation. However, prostaglandins not only affect the coagulation function of the uterus, but also affect the stomach and intestines, causing gastrointestinal motility to increase, so women are more likely to have diarrhea during menstruation. 3. Pathological cause: endometriosis "Endometriosis" is the benign tissue in the uterus running outside the uterus, causing various lesions, which may lead to chocolate cysts or adenomyosis, and even infertility. The most typical symptom of endometriosis is menstrual pain, but it is often accompanied by diarrhea. About 35% of endometriosis patients will have diarrhea during their menstrual period. Therefore, if there is obvious discomfort or abnormality during the menstrual period, you must seek medical treatment immediately. |
