Eat more high-fiber foods during menstruation, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, whole wheat flour, brown rice, oats and so on. Eating enough high-fiber food can promote the discharge of estrogen, increase the content of magnesium in blood, regulate menstruation and soothe the nerves. Women with more blood loss should eat more high-fiber foods, such as spinach, candied dates, red vegetables (red vegetable soup), raisins, etc., so as to eat walnuts, cashews, dried beans, etc. between blood-enriching meals.

It should be noted that some cold foods such as millet, coix seed, barley, lily, water chestnut, mung bean and lotus plumule must be avoided.

Precautions during menstruation

1: Not suitable for sex. During menstruation, the endometrium falls off and a wound forms on the surface of the uterine cavity. When living, it is easy to bring bacteria retrograde into the uterus, thus causing intrauterine infection, adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. It is not advisable to eat more salt. Eating too much salt will increase the storage of salt and water in the body. Symptoms such as headache, excitement and irritability will appear on the eve of menstrual cramps. You should start eating low-salt food 10 days before cramping.

3. it is not advisable to drink tea. Drinking tea during menstruation is easy to increase the loss of iron molecules. Under normal circumstances, iron, an important element for synthesizing hemoglobin in the human body, loses a certain amount every day. But for women, with the massive loss of blood during menstruation, the more iron will be lost than usual, the lower it will be. So try not to drink tea at this time, and eat some foods rich in iron in order to supplement iron.

4. It is not advisable to wear tight pants. If you wear tight pants with a large hip circumference during menstruation, it will oppress local capillaries, affect blood circulation, increase perineal friction, and easily lead to perineal congestion and edema.

5. Don't use shower gel to clean the genitals. Infection of the genitals leads to itching, during which the genitals are prone to odor, especially in summer. However, it is unhealthy to wash the genitals with shower gel or repeatedly wash the genitals with hot water when taking a bath, which may easily lead to pudendal infection and itching. If you don't use professional vaginal cleaning solution or rinse it repeatedly with hot water, it will even lead to an increase in alkali content, so you need to choose professional vaginal cleaning solution, especially during menstruation!

6. Avoid eating fried food. Consequence: fried food is easy to sting and get acne. It is also a taboo for women who have been bullied. Because progesterone secreted by the receptor affects the sebum secretion of menstrual women, the skin is greasy and the skin becomes sensitive due to telangiectasia. Eating fried food at this time will increase the burden on the skin and easily lead to tingling, acne and folliculitis.

7. Don't use drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Consequence: It will increase menstrual blood flow and cause anemia. Generally speaking, blood-enriching health products and drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be stopped during menstruation, but many women don't understand. As a result, they find that their menstrual flow suddenly increases, which may even lead to severe anemia or menstrual bleeding.

8. Don't drink, consequences: easy to get drunk, causing liver problems. Some studies believe that women's hormone levels fluctuate greatly during menstruation. At this time, drinking alcohol is easier to get drunk than usual, and the burden of alcohol on the liver will be further aggravated. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends drink as little as possible during menstruation.
