Didn't you come to take some medicine during your period?
First of all, we must understand the structure and physiological function of female reproductive organs in order to explain this problem.
Female internal reproductive organs are composed of ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes. The main function of the ovary is to produce eggs and synthesize ovarian hormones. The uterus and fallopian tubes are reproductive organs. There are tens of thousands of follicles in the ovary, and each follicle contains 1 egg.
Prepubertal follicles basically have no function. In adolescence, under the action of gonadotropin in the anterior pituitary gland, immature follicles gradually develop and estrogen is synthesized. When the follicle matures and ovulates, the follicle wall collapses and the cells become larger and yellow, which is called corpus luteum. It synthesizes estrogen and produces progesterone at the same time.
With the change of ovary, the endometrium also changes periodically. Estrogen makes endometrium thicken, endometrial cells increase and enlarge, and interstitial arterioles become more tortuous and spiral, which is called proliferative endometrium. After ovulation, due to the interaction of estrogen and progesterone, endometrial edema occurs, and glands produce a lot of mucus and glycogen, and the thickness of endometrium increases from 1 mm to 6 mm, which is called secretory endometrium.
If the ovum discharged at this time is fertilized, the fertilized egg is transported to the uterus through the fallopian tube for development, which is called pregnancy. The pregnant tissue synthesizes chorionic gonadotropin to support the continuous development of ovarian corpus luteum. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum will shrink about 14 days after ovulation and stop secreting estrogen and progesterone. At this time, the blood vessels in the endometrium contract, and the endometrium is necrotic and falls off, causing bleeding and forming menstruation.
Therefore, the length of menstrual cycle depends on the length of ovarian cycle, which is generally 2 1-30 days, but it also varies from person to person, with 23-45 days, even three months or half a year 1 cycle. As long as it is regular, it generally belongs to normal menstruation.
The bleeding time is usually 3-7 days, and the total amount of menstrual bleeding is 30-50 ml. Some people think that menstrual flow exceeding 80ml is a pathological state.
What can I eat during menstruation to lose weight?
If you don't pay attention to your diet, no matter how you lose weight, it is useless, especially for mothers who have given birth to babies. Therefore, women are advised to control their diet while losing weight. Then, many women want to ask, what can you eat during menstruation to lose weight?
Because menstrual period is a special period, women's hormones fluctuate greatly during this period, and the burning of fat is affected, especially in the last two days of menstruation and one week after menstruation, women's body's ability to decompose fat is much higher than usual, so it is called "weight loss welfare period". Women can supplement foods rich in iron, such as kelp, spinach, red cabbage, dried fish, raisins, red dates, candied dates, cherries and apples. At the same time, you can also eat foods with high fiber content and lose weight, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, whole wheat flour, brown rice, oats and other foods. In addition, some foods rich in vitamin B group can not only supplement some energy for human body, but also help human body control appetite and food intake. At the same time, you can also exercise moderately to achieve better weight loss.
In addition, the menstrual diet should be light, and foods that are too sweet and greasy, such as cakes and fat, are best not to eat too much or not at all, so as to avoid excessive intake of sugar and fat, which will lead to poor weight loss.
