The menstrual period for women is a particularly sensitive period, during which their physical resistance decreases, their mood is low, and they may experience some discomfort. So, what's the reason for having more bowel movements during menstruation?
1. During menstruation, congestion in the pelvic cavity can stimulate intestinal function and cause confusion; And during menstruation, frequent stimulation from the hypothalamus, including the pituitary gland, can lead to the release of prostaglandins, which can also cause intestinal dysfunction and increase the frequency of bowel movements. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and a manifestation of menstrual cycle syndrome, and generally does not affect normal life. This situation can last for about 3 days, or even 7 days, and it won't last too long. You can observe it first.
2. Women should also pay attention to their personal diet during menstruation, eat less spicy, stimulating, raw and cold food, and try to eat more easily digestible food to avoid increasing the risk of diarrhea. Women can also drink more brown sugar water or hot water, which can help alleviate abdominal pain and reduce the frequency of bowel movements.
3. During menstruation, if a woman eats some raw and cold food while also overworking and feeling mentally tense, these conditions can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing digestive dysfunction, spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, resulting in loss of appetite, abdominal distension and pain, and increased frequency of bowel movements. So during menstruation, it is important to maintain a good mood and attitude. You can take some digestive aids orally to alleviate the condition.
