Drinking certain beverages during your period can reduce discomfort and ease the period, while others can increase pain and discomfort. "RBK-Ukraine" writes about this.
Most women experience unpleasant symptoms during menstruation. Including:
- abdominal cramps;
- flatulence;
- nausea;
- diarrhea;
- fatigue;
- headache;
- mood swings
Although drinks cannot directly affect the uterus because they all pass through the stomach and intestines, some can affect symptoms before and during menstruation.
What drinks are better to avoid during menstruation:
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol can increase menstrual symptoms and cause a hangover that increases nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, and mood swings. Strong alcohol can cause dehydration, worsening headaches and bloating, and even cause an upset stomach.
Beverages containing caffeine
Tea, coffee, and energy drinks that contain caffeine can cause water retention and bloating, and make headaches worse. They can also cause digestive problems, especially if you often have diarrhea during your period. Moderate caffeine consumption may be wise, but avoid excessive caffeine consumption.
Sweet drinks
Eating too many sugary foods and drinks can cause your blood sugar to fluctuate, causing sudden changes in mood and energy. Managing your sugar intake can help improve your mood during your period.
However, if you experience severe and prolonged symptoms, seek medical attention as this may be a sign of a more serious health problem. You should not ignore the opportunity to visit a doctor or miss a scheduled examination.
