Is it normal to have dry mouth and thirst during menstruation?

For female friends, menstruation is like an old friend. In fact, it must come every month. It is inconvenient when it comes, and even more troublesome when it doesn’t. However, the human body usually has some reactions before menstruation to tell you the coming of menstruation, such as swollen breasts and lower abdominal pain. And dry mouth, etc., are all physiological needs before menstruation and are all normal. However, many people are confused about dry mouth before menstruation. Let's talk about what causes dry mouth and thirst during menstruation.

1. When women have their periods, due to the discharge of blood from the uterus, the body also excretes a large amount of water, which will cause dry mouth and thirst. It is necessary to drink more than twice the usual amount of water to alleviate this condition.

Irregular menstruation is all caused by spleen and kidney deficiency. The actual types are as follows:

(1) Stomach heat

Stomach heat, or excessive consumption of spicy food, fatty and greasy food, etc., can lead to excessive Yangming heat. When it is performed, the Chong Qi is abundant, and the Chong Mai belongs to the Yangming, which makes the Yangming heat even more severe. Burning and dry mouth.

(2) Deficiency of lung, stomach and kidney yang

The patient usually has lung and stomach yin deficiency, or the disease has damaged yin fluid for a long time, and as the disease progresses, yin blood is also damaged, and the lung, stomach and kidney yang deficiency is even worse. The yang deficiency and fluid loss lead to lack of nourishment and worse dryness of mouth.

(3) Kidney Yin Deficiency

If you have kidney yin deficiency, or a long-term serious disease that damages kidney yang, the yin blood will leak downward, making the kidney yang deficiency even more deficient. Yang deficiency will generate internal fire, which will damage body fluids and cause dry mouth.

(4) Blood stasis

The stagnation of the blood circulation hinders the smooth flow of blood, causing blood stasis inside the body. During the process, the blood stasis cannot be discharged smoothly, resulting in poor distribution of body fluids and dry mouth.

2. Because the amount of blood flowing during menstruation will be relatively large, especially on the second and third days, the blood bar will be slightly larger. You should add a little sugar to the drinking water to prevent anemia in people with weak constitution.

3. In terms of diet, you should eat more nutritious foods. If your lips are dry, you can apply some honey lemon water on your mouth, or a little milk, which can alleviate this situation.
