Many women may find themselves feeling particularly sleepy and unable to lift their spirits as soon as they start menstruating, which makes them feel troubled and confused. Why does menstruation affect one's mental state? Is this a normal situation? In fact, there is a reason why women are prone to feeling particularly sleepy during their menstrual period.
Why are women prone to drowsiness and unable to lift their spirits during menstruation?
1、 Hormonal effects
It is also a common phenomenon for women to experience changes in the secretion of endocrine hormones during menstruation, which can lead to changes in their body. With the decrease of estrogen secretion in the body, there is a lack of caution and a tendency to be troubled.
2、 Nutrient loss
During physiological days, there is a large amount of bleeding, and most of the nutrients in women's bodies are lost. This can easily cause fatigue, dizziness, and other symptoms, especially for women who are weak. Women should supplement their energy appropriately during physiological days to improve their body's resistance.
3、 Heavy moisture
When a woman's body is damp and hot, the moisture during menstruation is heavy, and the symptoms of physiological days are more obvious, which can easily lead to physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and a desire to sleep.
4、 Spleen and stomach deficiency
Some women have obesity and swelling caused by spleen and stomach deficiency. Women with spleen and stomach deficiency may feel sleepy during menstruation, lack energy, have low appetite, and have heavy limbs.
5、 Renal sperm loss
This situation is mostly among women undergoing artificial abortion, who are prone to symptoms such as kidney sperm loss, fatigue, low menstrual volume, and weak waist and knees during menstruation.
What should women do if they want to sleep during their menstrual period?
1、 Get enough sleep
During menstruation, women should have enough sleep, avoid staying up late, go to bed on time, give themselves enough rest, and alleviate the desire to sleep.
2、 Replenish energy
Many women feel that they lack energy during their physiological days. At this time, they can consume foods that supplement their energy appropriately to ensure their energy is sufficient without feeling lacking in energy. They can also exercise to make their limbs flexible and energetic.
A warm reminder is that female friends should pay attention to nursing measures when menstruating, and take more rest and relevant protective measures when the physiological discomfort is severe. In addition, female friends should also pay attention to keeping warm in the near future to avoid accumulating menstrual blood due to the cold, so that they can safely pass their menstrual period.
