I often feel very hungry during menstruation. What should I do?

Frequent hunger during menstruation may be caused by fast metabolism, less food intake, gastrointestinal dysfunction, etc. It can be improved by adjusting diet and taking medicine.

1. Fast metabolism:

During menstruation, women's hormone levels may be high, which can easily accelerate metabolism and cause the body to consume a lot of energy. Therefore, hunger may occur. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

2. Eat less:

If women eat less food during menstruation, or do heavy physical labor during this period, it may consume body heat, accelerate gastrointestinal motility, and cause hunger. They can eat some eggs, lean meat and other foods to replenish energy. At the same time, they should reduce physical labor during this period.

3. Gastrointestinal dysfunction:

Considering that it is related to improper diet and imbalance of intestinal lactic acid bacteria, the disease will affect the normal peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, causing abnormal intestinal peristalsis, and may cause abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and other symptoms. Oral lactobacillus tablets, Bacillus subtilis two-combination live bacteria granules, Bifidobacterium triple live bacteria powder and other drugs can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above common causes, it may also be caused by acute enteritis, etc., which can be treated with oral medications such as Enteritis Ning Tablets, Compound Xianhecao Enteritis Tablets, and Norfloxacin Capsules under the guidance of a doctor. It is forbidden to eat cold food during menstruation, such as ice cream and cold drinks, and the abdomen should be kept warm to facilitate physical recovery.
