Patient's question:
The period is on time, but it's easy to get acne on the face a week before the period. It gets better after the period. Is it due to endocrine disorders?Doctor's answer:
Before menstruation, hormone levels in a woman's body fluctuate, which can lead to some symptoms or discomfort, such as changes in the skin, breast tenderness, lower abdominal fullness, and so on. As menstruation approaches, the endocrine system undergoes readjustment and changes, and symptoms will naturally improve on their own. Endocrine imbalance is a pathological phenomenon. Although there are fluctuations in your endocrine system, this is a normal physiological phenomenon and cannot be termed endocrine imbalance—no need to worry.In daily care, pay attention to rest before and after your period, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, and always maintain a pleasant mood. These are important aspects of menstrual health care. When you have acne, do not use medications or cosmetics indiscriminately—just focus on skin hygiene.
