4 things that happen when you don't drink enough water during your period

THÙY DƯƠNG (THEO HEALTHSHOTS) |

Water is essential for the body, especially during menstruation. Here are some things that happen to the body during menstruation.

Bloating and cramping

During your period, your estrogen and progesterone levels are often lower than usual. This causes your body to retain water, which can make you feel bloated and cause cramps. You should drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day during your period to help combat bloating and reduce pain from cramps as your body expels menstrual blood.

Migraines and headaches

Dehydration causes headaches and migraines because not enough oxygen reaches the brain cells. Not enough water can cause the brain to temporarily shrink due to dehydration, causing the brain to separate from the skull, leading to severe headaches and migraines. Drinking water will help the brain return to normal, reducing headaches and migraines.

Reduced urination

Dehydration can lead to a decrease in urine output as well as a darker color of urine. This happens when your kidneys retain more water, if you don’t urinate regularly you may experience pain in your lower abdomen, increasing discomfort. Drinking water will reduce the pain and also activate your urinary tract.

Feeling tired

Dehydration during menstruation makes you feel weak and tired, the cause of this condition is dehydration.

If you don't drink enough water, your body's fluid balance can be altered, which can make you feel weak because your heart has to pump harder to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your skin and muscles.
