Is menstrual diarrhea caused by uterine cold?

Some female friends will experience diarrhea during their menstrual period. Some people think that diarrhea during menstruation is caused by cold uterus. In fact, there may be other reasons besides cold uterus. It is possible that you consumed too much raw and cold food before your period, which irritated your stomach and intestines.

Experts believe that diarrhea during menstruation is related to a person’s physical constitution and daily physical conditioning. "Some women are prone to diarrhea due to physical weakness and gastrointestinal irritation during menstruation." Experts say that some other women do not pay attention to diet and physical conditioning on a daily basis and are accustomed to eating raw and cold food, even during menstruation. This can seriously affect gastrointestinal function and cause diarrhea.

During menstruation, special attention should be paid to avoid getting cold. As the saying goes, "Cold starts from the feet." If you have diarrhea due to cold or other reasons, you can often feel the cold in your feet. You can try soaking your feet in hot water at 45-47 degrees Celsius, 2-3 times a day, each time for about 10 minutes. When the feet are heated, blood circulation throughout the body will speed up and the heat in the body will increase accordingly. To a certain extent, it can warm the uterus and regulate gastrointestinal function.

In addition, you should pay special attention to your diet during menstruation, avoid eating raw or cold food, and eat more foods that warm the uterus. "You can use brown sugar and ginger to make soup and drink it once or twice a day." Wu Hongjuan said that ginger has the effect of stopping diarrhea and brown sugar can promote blood circulation. It can be taken two or three days before menstruation and during menstruation every month. It can also warm the uterus, dispel cold and regulate the stomach and intestines. Many supermarkets now have specially formulated brown sugar ginger tea, which is individually packaged and can be taken with boiling water, which is very convenient.

How to protect women from menstrual diarrhea at home

Stick to a diet: A diet doesn't have to be bland; if diarrhea is accompanied by nausea, suck on a popsicle until the nausea goes away. Mild diarrhea requires normal exercise, but avoid strenuous exercise until you feel better because strenuous exercise can increase your dehydration symptoms.

Replenish water: Replenish water is the first principle, which is more important than paying attention to what ingredients to supplement; usually avoid supplementing milk, because some people cannot absorb the sugar in milk, which makes diarrhea more serious; consuming non-alcoholic beverages cannot replenish the calories needed by dehydrated patients; so generally choose soda water or sugary drinks to replenish the water lost due to diarrhea.
