What diseases are related to menstruation?

1. Menstrual arthritis

Some women will experience joint pain during menstruation, mainly knee joint pain, accompanied by mild swelling and tenderness in the joints, which will worsen when walking. This is mainly because the body's hormone secretion will change greatly during menstruation, causing water and salt metabolism disorders. When too much water and salt accumulate in the body, it will cause joint swelling and pain, breast pain, and abdominal pain.

2. Menstrual rash

Some women develop small blisters around the nose and lips before menstruation, with itching and burning sensations, and even red spots and papules on the limbs or chest and back. This is mainly related to the menstrual cycle of women. Because progesterone increases during menstruation, the body's allergic reactions increase, and eventually allergic skin diseases occur.

3. Menstrual toothache

30% of girls experience toothache before and after menstruation, accompanied by red, swollen and bleeding gums. This is because during menstruation, the estrogen level in women’s bodies increases, which stimulates gingival hormones, expands the blood vessels of the periodontal membrane and dental pulp, causes swelling, and compresses local nerves.

4. Menstrual asthma

For women with poor physical resistance, menstruation can cause excessive nerve excitement, resulting in the secretion of large amounts of acetylcholine, which puts the bronchial smooth muscles into spasm and induces asthma.

5. Menstrual pneumothorax

10% of women will experience irritability, chest tightness and pain, even difficulty breathing, and purple lips during menstruation. This situation usually occurs in women between 24 and 40 years old, especially the right chest tightness and pain. For most people, the symptoms will be relieved 72 hours after menstruation.

6. Menstrual Psychosis

60% of women will experience excessive sweating, insomnia, loss of appetite, dry mouth, dizziness, and cold hands and feet before their period. Some women will even experience irritability, sudden excitement, hallucinations, drowsiness, and dullness. These symptoms usually last for about two days. No treatment is needed and they will return to normal as long as the menstruation is completely over.
