What causes menstrual fatigue?

Menstruation is a normal physiological period for women. Most women will experience some discomfort during menstruation. For example, some people feel sore waist and some feel tired and weak. These are common phenomena. Menstruation is a special physiological period. Many people worry that abnormal conditions will occur during menstruation, which will affect their health. So what is the common cause of fatigue during menstruation?

What causes menstrual fatigue?

Before and during menstruation, the secretion of progesterone in women's bodies increases, which is also the reason why people feel particularly sleepy. The reaction is more obvious in people with anemia. Specifically, menstruation causes the loss of nutrients in the blood, so insufficient nutrients are supplied to other tissues in the body, causing people to feel sleepy easily. In addition, generally speaking, a drop in body temperature will make people want to sleep, but during menstruation, the body's temperature is high, and poor sleep at night can also cause daytime drowsiness. Among women who experience physical discomfort during their menstrual period, nearly half experience drowsiness.

First of all, if you feel very tired and sleepy, it is better to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe some oral contraceptives. Taking birth control pills can inhibit ovulation and eliminate symptoms of fatigue. However, birth control pills have certain side effects, so it is better to try other methods first. Other countermeasures include taking Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine can have different conditioning effects on different body constitutions. You might as well go to a Chinese medicine pharmacy to get a prescription that suits you. The second is to keep the lower body warm. Keeping the lower body warm can promote the secretion of estrogen in the body and relieve symptoms of fatigue. In addition, you should correct some bad living habits and smell the scent of essential oils when you feel sleepy. You can also record the changes in body temperature during menstruation, grasp the time when your body feels tired, and arrange your work reasonably.

In addition, people who feel sleepy during menstruation should also pay attention to their diet. People with anemia should eat more iron-containing foods, and of course they can also take nutritional supplements to regulate their condition. In addition, iron supplementation can also improve the situation of having trouble getting up in the morning. Vitamin B6 is also effective in improving premenstrual syndrome. Garlic is rich in vitamin B6, so you might as well eat more during your period.

1. Leucorrhea

The (vaginal discharge) examination is to take a small amount of leucorrhea and have the doctor examine it under a microscope to see if there is vaginal inflammation. This can accurately diagnose vaginitis and guide treatment. You can also send your vaginal discharge to a laboratory to check for sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, mycoplasma, and gonorrhea. The cost of this type of examination is also very low, only ten or twenty yuan. If you check for sexually transmitted diseases, it will cost more than a hundred yuan.

2. Cervical smear test

Many people are afraid of the "scraping". In fact, there is no feeling. It is just a small wooden board or plastic brush gently scraping the cervix, and many cervical cells will be scraped off. This examination is used to check for cervical cancer, because cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women, and cervical cancer is difficult to distinguish from common cervical erosion with the naked eye. The scraped cells can be examined under a microscope to determine whether cervical cancer is present. The cost of this type of inspection ranges from 20 yuan to 150 yuan. Of course, the higher the cost, the more accurate it is, and it can check many items at the same time.

3.B-ultrasound

Everyone knows what B-ultrasound is. B-ultrasound can detect common gynecological pelvic lesions such as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts, which is much more accurate than pelvic examination. Usually, when doing a gynecological B-ultrasound, you have to hold your urine first so that the uterus and its appendages (fallopian tubes + ovaries) can be seen clearly. Many people are afraid of holding their urine.

If some young mothers are worried about contracting sexually transmitted diseases, such as having received blood transfusions, frequently working in public places, being worried about their lover's behavior, etc., they can check for some sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to the STDs that can be checked above, AIDS and syphilis require blood tests in the morning without eating and on an empty stomach.
