2. What can't I eat before menstruation?
Before menstruation, we should not only eat more nutritious food, but also pay attention to some dietary taboos, otherwise it may aggravate various discomforts during menstruation, cause dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation and even lead to amenorrhea.
Pay special attention to cold food.
Not only can you not eat cold food during menstruation, it is best to avoid eating it one week before menstruation, otherwise the cold will invade the uterus and easily induce dysmenorrhea, less menstrual flow and other symptoms, such as cold drinks, ice cream, snails and persimmons.
1. Eat less spicy food.
Similarly, too spicy food, such as hot pot, red pepper and so on. It is also recommended to eat less before menstruation, especially those with heavy internal heat, so as not to cause early menstruation and excessive menstruation, which will make menstrual acne serious.
2.caffeinated drinks
Before menstruation, as well as during menstrual period, due to the large fluctuation of hormones in the body, it is easy to cause breast pain, anxiety, irritability and emotional instability. In the meantime, caffeinated drinks, such as coffee, strong tea and cola, should be avoided.
3. It's best not to smell too strong.
Before and during menstruation, the taste is too heavy, eating too salty, and eating foods with too many spices will make the water stay, further aggravating the discomfort such as edema and breast pain. In short, the diet adjusted last week should be light and nutritious, not picky eaters, and eat some high-protein foods in moderation.
3, menstrual care methods
1, clean and sanitary
Keep the vulva clean during menstruation, scrub the vulva with warm water every night, and it is not suitable for bath or sitz bath. Might as well take a shower. Sanitary napkins and paper should be soft and clean, preferably autoclaved; Menstrual belts and underwear should be changed and washed frequently to reduce the stimulation of blood stains on vulva and inner thighs. After washing, scald it with boiling water and dry it for later use. Menstrual pads should use sterilized gauze towels and toilet paper. Wipe from front to back after defecation to prevent dirt from entering female private parts, causing inflammation of female private parts or uterus.
Step 2 Eat healthily
Because menstrual blood dissipates, menstrual period needs more adequate nutrition; Diet should be light and mild, easy to digest, not overeating and cold, because cold makes blood coagulation, easy to cause dysmenorrhea, and menorrhagia or sudden interruption. Don't overeat spicy, fragrant, dry and harmful food to reduce uterine bleeding. Drink more boiled water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep the stool unobstructed.
3. Regulate emotions
Emotional abnormality is one of the important pathogenic factors, and the influence of mental emotion on menstruation is particularly obvious. Therefore, during menstruation, we must maintain emotional stability, feel comfortable, avoid bad stimulation, and prevent irregular menstruation.
Step 4 combine work and rest
During menstruation, you can work and study as usual, and engage in general physical labor, which can promote blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, thus alleviating back pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. However, heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise should be avoided, because overwork will make the pelvic cavity hyperemia, causing menorrhagia, prolonged menstrual period, abdominal pain and backache. And ensure adequate sleep and maintain abundant energy.
Step 5 avoid sexual intercourse
During the menstrual period, the endometrium falls off and bleeds, there are fresh wounds in the uterine cavity, the cervix is slightly open, the acidity of female private parts is reduced, and the ability to defend against germs is greatly reduced. Making love at this time will bring bacteria in and easily lead to inflammation of reproductive organs. If the fallopian tube is inflamed, adhered and blocked, it will also cause infertility. It can also cause prolonged menstrual period and even metrorrhagia. Therefore, women should prohibit sexual intercourse during menstruation to prevent infection.
6. Don't abuse drugs
Generally speaking, women will feel a little uncomfortable during menstruation, and they can disappear after menstruation so as not to interfere with their normal process. If you have unbearable abdominal pain or excessive bleeding for a long time, you need to see a doctor for examination and diagnosis. Don't throw your own medicine and take the bait yourself.
7. Suitable for both cold and warm weather
Pay attention to climate change, especially to prevent high temperature exposure, cold rain, or wading, swimming, or washing your hair and feet with cold water, or sitting in a cold place for a long time.
8. Make records.
We should carefully record the date of menstrual cramps and calculate the date of menstrual cramps next month, so as to find irregular menstruation and pregnancy early.
