Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Women lose some blood during their menstrual period, so they need to replenish body fluids with water. Thirst is a normal phenomenon. Even a significant portion of women start storing water a few days before their period, which can also lead to weight gain. During menstruation, your dry mouth and drinking water are not directly related. It's entirely a psychological effect, perhaps because you haven't yet adjusted to it. Adjusting your mental state is the most important thing. Every woman's physiological functions are different, and their water needs vary. Drinking more or less water does not affect your period.
