What problems to watch out for during menstruation 7 major menstrual problems to be cautious about

The vast majority of women's menstrual cycles are regular, and it is normal for them to have menstruation once a month. However, with the onset of menstruation, many women will experience mild or severe physical discomfort, such as stomach pain, poor spirits, etc. Here are 7 diseases that are easy to occur when menstruation comes.

1. Menstrual arthritis

Some women experience joint pain during menstruation, especially knee pain, which may be accompanied by mild swelling and deep tenderness in the joints, which is worse when walking, especially when descending stairs.Some scholars believe that changes in hormone secretion in the body during menstruation cause water and salt metabolism disorders, and when the body accumulates too much water and salt, symptoms such as joint swelling and pain, abdominal distension and breast tenderness can occur.

Some women have no other cause before or after menstruation, and have millet granular herpes around the lips or nose, with a burning and itching sensation, or polymorphic rashes such as papules, erythema, and vesicles on the chest, back, and limbs, which are obviously related to the menstrual cycle. The cause may be an allergic reaction caused by an increase in progesterone secreted by the ovaries, so it is an allergic skin disease.

3. Menstrual toothache

Some adolescent girls have toothache before and after menstruation, but it is usually a one-time episode. Some women also have symptoms such as gum congestion, redness, swelling, and spontaneous bleeding.
