I especially want it before and after my period.

Many women are too shy to express themselves when faced with private questions. For example, you may especially want it before and after your period. In fact, this situation is very normal. Because about 3 days before menstruation, female hormone secretion begins to peak. During this period, although the endocrine system is not as active as during the ovulation period, the body's hormone levels are still relatively high compared to normal. So it's normal to have such thoughts.

However, you must pay attention to hygiene at this time. Although the desire is strong, the secretion of leucorrhea is not as high as during the ovulation period. If you are not careful, you will easily be infected with some diseases.

Many women experience some uncomfortable symptoms in the few days before their period (premenstrual period), such as depression, anxiety, tension, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, etc. It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. At this time, women should choose foods and medicines that are good for the skin and beauty, and can also replenish qi, soothe the liver, and regulate negative emotions, such as cabbage, grapefruit, lean pork, celery, japonica rice, duck eggs, fried atractylodes, yam, coix seed, lily, golden loofah, winter melon, kelp, sea cucumber, carrot, white radish, walnut kernels, black fungus, mushrooms, etc.

During menstruation, symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue may occur. At this time, it is advisable to choose foods and medicines that are beneficial to the skin and beauty and are also beneficial to the "menstrual flow". Recommended foods and medicines include: mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, rehmannia, peach blossom, etc.

The ancient Zhao Zhibi said: "During the menstrual period, heat is often used instead of cold. Cold will retain the blood, causing turbidity and filth, which will lead to stranguria and fullness." Therefore, during the menstrual period, many foods that have good skin-beautifying effects should be avoided, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ear, stone flower, water caltrop, winter melon, kale, black fungus, rabbit meat, hemp seeds, etc.

As mentioned above, some blood is lost during menstruation. The main components of blood are plasma protein, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium and other inorganic salts. This means that some protein and inorganic salts are lost every time menstruation comes. Therefore, in principle, within 1-5 days after the menstruation is over (after the menstrual period), nutrients such as protein, minerals and some blood tonics should be supplemented. During this period, you can choose foods and medicines that can benefit the skin and beautify the body and have the effect of replenishing blood and promoting blood circulation, such as: milk, eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, water chestnut, spinach, cherry, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, safflower, peach blossom, cooked rehmannia, polygonatum, etc.
