Do you not only have menstrual cramps, but also have diarrhea every time "that comes"? Dietitian Huang Xiaotong suggested that women who have diarrhea during menstrual cramps may try peeled apples and bananas to help relieve diarrhea. However, obstetricians and gynecologists remind that if the problems of menstrual cramps, diarrhea and menstrual pain are getting worse and worse, it is best to check whether there is endometriosis.
The secretion of prostaglandins in the uterus may cause diarrhea
Dittyist Huang Xiaotong shared the method of relieving menstrual diarrhea on his personal Facebook. She analyzed that many women will experience menstrual cramps, bloating or headaches during menstruation, increase the number of bowel movements, and have soft and thin stools, but it will be fine when the menstrual period ends. In fact, the reason is that the uterus secretes prostaglandins when menstruation comes, which stimulates the contraction of the submenorrhea and helps to discharge the menstrual blood. However, at this time, the intestinal smooth muscle located in the pelvis will also be affected by prostaglandins. The intestinal smooth muscle contracts and accelerates the intestinal peristalsis, resulting in diarrhea.
Supplementing pectin-containing bananas and peeled apples can stop diarrhea
Huang Xiaotong suggested that if menstrual cramps cause diarrhea, it is recommended to eat foods rich in pectin and soluble fiber, such as bananas and peeled apples. These fruits have the ability to retain water and help shape stools, which can help improve the symptoms of laxatives. But she suggested that if the number of diarrhea is too much, also pay attention to the replenishment of water and electrolytes.
Liu Weimin, director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Taipei Medical University Affiliated Hospital, reminded that if menstrual cramps, menstrual pain and diarrhea symptoms become more and more serious, be careful that this is not only a problem of prostaglandin stimulation,Rather have endometriosis. Eating these light and antidiarrheal fruits for endometriosis can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause.
The more severe menstrual pain and diarrhea may be due to endometriosis
Liu Weimin said that in recent years, many women in the hospital have suffered severe menstrual pain, the pain is so severe that they cramp during menstrual cramps, and painkillers cannot relieve the pain. I had a problem with the tract, and the results of the examination found that endometriosis caused intestinal adhesions. Some patients with intestinal adhesions must undergo surgery to remove the intestines. Some patients even look like colorectal cancer, but the large intestine is actually invaded by the ectopic endometrium. .
NSAID painkillers can slow down the secretion of prostaglandins
He suggested that if menstrual cramps have menstrual cramps and mild diarrhea, seek medical advice from an obstetrician. NSAID painkillers have the effect of slowing the secretion of prostaglandins, which not only relieves menstrual pain, but also reduces the amount of uterine bleeding if the uterine contractions are severe and menstrual blood is too much.
However, if the symptoms of menstrual pain and diarrhea gradually worsen, Liu Weimin reminds that you must not only take painkillers, and must have a complete examination. Endometriosis can not only cause menstrual pain, but also cause serious problems such as infertility, intestinal adhesions, and pelvic inflammation in women. Don't delay!
