1. What causes weight gain before menstruation?

Problem analysis: Hello, weight gain is related to your nutritional status. More nutrition absorption and less consumption will cause weight gain. This has nothing to do with menstruation. You can rest assured.

Suggestions: 1. During menstruation, you should eat light, nutritious foods with a neutral taste. Avoid eating spicy foods, smoking, or drinking, so as not to stimulate blood vessel dilation and cause early menstruation and excessive menstrual flow. 2. During menstruation, you should eat fresh and easily digestible food, and avoid eating raw, cold, and difficult to digest food. Eating raw or cold food during menstruation can not only hinder digestion, but also easily damage the body's yang energy, leading to poor menstrual blood flow, too little menstrual blood, and even dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea.

Condition Analysis:

This is a normal phenomenon, and some women may experience this condition. In addition to edema, there may also be pimples, bad temper, eating and sleeping problems, etc. These are all normal, so don't worry too much.

Guidance:

Most women experience edema to some extent during menstruation, but sometimes it is difficult to detect due to hidden locations. Normal edema: A few days before and during menstruation, some women cannot wear their favorite pants, and some women cannot even wear their wedding rings. These are small things. As long as you drink 6-8 glasses of water every day during these days, stay away from high-salt foods, and insist on light exercise, the problem of edema will no longer bother you. If the above methods are ineffective, you can go to the doctor to consult oral contraceptives containing progesterone (synthetic type), which has a diuretic effect.

Menstrual reaction. During menstruation, women generally do not feel any special discomfort, except for slightly reduced physical strength, fatigue, and slightly lower work efficiency and labor tolerance.
