1, the benefits of women's menstruation
1 can be used as the first signal of pregnancy.
For mature women, it is a normal physiological phenomenon to menstruate regularly every month. If menstruation is delayed for too long that month, it may be pregnant.

2. It can make people find diseases early.
Female students 18 years old still have no menstrual cramps, or women have normal menstruation in the past and have stopped menstruating for more than three months (excluding those caused by pregnancy, lactation and menopause). It is necessary to check whether they have lower genital atresia, congenital absence of uterus or uterine dysplasia, ovarian tumor, pituitary adenoma or hypofunction, endocrine or wasting diseases. In addition, the change of menstrual time, amount and accompanying symptoms is also an important clue to discover and diagnose many diseases.
3, the damage of excessive iron can be avoided.
There is a hereditary disease called hemochromatosis, which is easy to cause iron metabolism disorder in patients and accumulate too much iron in the body; Excessive iron will gradually cause damage to skin, heart, liver, joints and islets. One of the ways to treat iron excess is to regularly discharge a certain amount of blood. The organic damage caused by hemochromatosis is much less in women than in men, and even hardly occurs. Periodic blood loss caused by menstruation just consumes excessive iron.
4, can promote hematopoietic function.
Menstruation causes frequent blood loss and hematopoiesis, which gives women a kind of "exercise" that men do not have. It makes women more able to bear the blow of accidental blood loss than men, and can quickly create new blood to make up for the lost blood.
5. It is easier to lose weight during menstruation.
Many women are very concerned about losing weight. In fact, it is easier to lose weight during menstruation, and eating more nutritious food during menstruation will not gain weight, but spicy, stimulating and cold food is not allowed.

Adequate sleep and a reasonable diet can make our skin better and more beautiful during menstruation.
2. How to maintain your body during menstruation?
It is necessary to supplement certain nutrition before menstruation, because women will lose some iron during menstruation, so about a week before menstruation, women will start to replenish blood, and they can eat more red dates and some iron-containing nutrients.
Pay attention to keep warm during menstruation, ensure that the lower abdomen does not catch cold, and cover the quilt when taking a nap.
Drink more warm water every day, you can add some brown sugar; Soak your feet with warm water every night before going to bed; Wash private parts with warm water every night.
Try not to touch cold water during menstruation, dry your body as soon as possible after bathing, and blow dry your hair quickly to avoid cold air invading your body.
Avoid lifting heavy objects, do not do strenuous exercise, do some walking exercises, and don't stay up late at night to avoid overwork.

Because a lot of iron is lost during menstruation, after menstruation, women should also replenish blood, eat more red dates and eat some iron-containing nutrients.
3. How to maintain anti-aging during menstruation?
1, daily skin care
Pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, and wash your skin with warm water 2-3 times a day. Cleansing products should be mild in nature and have a certain degreasing effect. You can also apply a layer of essence to the T-shaped part with more oil to balance oil secretion. Because the skin sensitivity during menstruation is enhanced, allergic reactions are prone to occur, so too much cosmetics should be avoided.
2. Sun protection work
Strong sebum secretion will not only lead to sebum blocking pores, but also easily form pigments and increase the number of black spots. During this time, the skin is easily affected by ultraviolet rays, so the work of sun protection is particularly important.
3. Eye care
Do eye massage with cold cream around your eyes every night, draw a circle around your eyes gently, then pat your eyes with your fingers, press eye acupoints, and wash off the cold cream after massage. If the eyelid is swollen, you can soak two cotton pads in tea, and then take them out and apply them on the eyelid./kloc-Take them off after 0/0 minutes, which can eliminate eye fatigue, edema and dark circles during menstruation.
4, body skin care
In addition to facial skin, body skin should also be maintained during menstruation, and shower gel should contain moisturizing ingredients.
5, emotional and sports maintenance
Maintaining a stable mood and a good mood is the most effective way to maintain the skin. At the same time, do some aerobic exercise that can promote metabolism, and don't get fat unconsciously during this time.
6, diet conditioning
In addition to external cultivation, internal adjustment is more important. Therefore, a reasonable diet during menstruation is the most critical factor in maintaining the skin. During this period, we should eat a rich and balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and supplement the nutrition and blood volume in the body.
Special attention: blood heat leads to rash, so alcohol and spicy and hot food, such as pepper, onion, garlic, pepper, ginger, cinnamon and barbecue fried food, should be banned during menstruation. Blood condenses when it is cold, which is not conducive to smooth menstrual blood. Therefore, cold food, such as cold drinks, cold dishes, raw fruits and vegetables, should be avoided during menstruation. Blood contracts when it meets acid, and sour taste is not conducive to smooth menstrual blood. Therefore, eat less sour food during menstruation, such as sauerkraut, plums, plums and lemons.
During menstruation, women's body and face will have slight edema, so don't eat salty food.
Eating more foods containing magnesium and vitamin B, such as bananas, mineral water and animal liver, can make the metabolism better. Drink plenty of boiled water to replenish the lack of water in the body. Don't overeat just because you lose too much blood. At this time, you should eat more foods containing iron and protein, which can improve the absorption of iron.
4. Precautions during menstruation
1, not suitable for sex.
During menstruation, the cervix is slightly open, which easily brings germs around vulva and perineum into women's private parts, cervix and even uterus, causing endometritis or acute adnexitis (including fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis. In addition, menstrual intercourse may also lead to the return of exfoliated endometrium to the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis. The above diseases may lead to increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period and dysmenorrhea.
2, should not be strenuous exercise
Exercise is not absolutely forbidden during menstruation, but strenuous exercise, such as high jump and running, should be avoided as far as possible, otherwise it will aggravate menstrual discomfort, such as backache and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorder. Avoid swimming during menstruation, because the cervix is slightly open during menstruation, bacteria are easy to invade the uterine cavity, increase the chance of infection and cause various gynecological inflammations, so don't swim during menstruation.
3, should not eat cold, salty food.
Eating cold food or drinking cold drinks during menstruation will affect the contraction of the uterus, leading to poor menstrual blood discharge and dysmenorrhea. In addition, due to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone during menstruation, water and sodium retention and excessive antidiuretic hormone, many women tend to become irritable and anxious. If you eat salty food, it will aggravate water and sodium retention, leading to headaches, edema and other problems.
4. Avoid drinking alcohol and drinking strong tea and coffee.
During menstruation, the proportion of hangover enzymes in women decreases, and the ability to decompose alcohol decreases accordingly. Drinking a lot at this time is not only easier to get drunk than usual, but also it is difficult for alcohol to be excreted and left in the body, causing harm. However, strong tea and coffee contain high caffeine, which can easily lead to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstrual period or excessive bleeding. At the same time, tannic acid in tea combines with iron in food in the intestine, which further affects the absorption of iron and causes anemia and other problems.
5. It is not advisable to eat drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Use drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis with caution during menstruation, otherwise it will easily increase menstrual flow and even cause menstrual bleeding or anemia.
6. It is not advisable to take a bath or soak in hot springs.
Because the cervix is slightly open during menstruation, if the lower body is soaked in water, pathogenic bacteria in the water can enter the uterine cavity through the female private parts, causing inflammation. In addition, within three days after the end of menstruation, the cervix is still not completely closed, so it is not appropriate to take a bath during this time.
7. It is not advisable to beat the waist and extract teeth.
Many women will have backache during menstruation and often pat them habitually to relieve symptoms. The vibration stimulation caused by waist pounding during menstruation is not conducive to the repair of endometrium, and it will also lead to further congestion of pelvic cavity and accelerated blood flow, which will lead to an increase in menstrual flow and lead to menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation. If the low back is still painful during menstruation, there may be gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis. It is recommended to seek medical diagnosis.
It is not advisable to extract teeth during menstruation. In order to discharge menstrual blood smoothly, the number of platelets in women will decrease, so the coagulation is lower than usual. At this time, tooth extraction will cause more bleeding, easily lead to infection, and also lead to problems such as the wound is not easy to heal.
8. It is not advisable to wear tights.
If you wear tights during menstruation, the capillaries in the relevant parts will be compressed, affecting blood microcirculation and causing local edema. In addition, tight pants will also increase perineal friction, which is easy to cause pericoronitis. It is recommended to wear cotton underwear with good permeability and strong hygroscopicity during menstruation, and wear it as loosely as possible.
9. It is not advisable to sing loudly.
Due to the influence of endocrine, many women will be in a bad mood during menstruation, and some women may choose to sing K to vent. However, it is often inappropriate to sing loudly during menstruation, because singing loudly during menstruation is easy to cause congestion and edema of vocal cords capillaries, and vocal cords are fragile, which is easy to rupture vocal cords capillaries, leading to hoarseness or even loss of voice.
