Does the menstrual cycle cause weight gain?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does the period make you gain weight?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, no. The easiest time for girls to avoid gaining weight is during their menstrual period, because this is when the body's metabolism is fastest. Usually, it's also necessary to supplement some nutrients at this time!
Hello, after giving birth, it's important to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. If you have a normal delivery, you can start light exercise about a month later. If you have a cesarean section, you can start light exercise about three months later to lose weight.
