1, how to care during menstruation
1, moderate diet
Because menstrual blood dissipates, menstrual period needs more adequate nutrition; The diet should be light and mild, easy to digest, not overeating and cold, because cold makes the blood coagulate, which is easy to cause dysmenorrhea, oligomenorrhea or sudden interruption. Do not overeat spicy, fragrant, dry and harmful foods to reduce uterine congestion. Drink more boiled water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep the stool unobstructed.
2. Regulate emotions
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that 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.
3. Cleanliness and hygiene
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. Sterile gauze and toilet paper should be used for menstrual pads. Wipe from front to back after defecation to avoid bringing stolen goods into women's private parts, causing inflammation of women's private parts or uterus.
Step 4 combine work and rest
Working, studying and engaging in general physical labor as usual during menstruation can promote pelvic blood circulation, thus alleviating back pain and abdominal discomfort, but heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise should be avoided, because overwork will make pelvic congestion, causing menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation, abdominal pain and back pain. And ensure adequate sleep and maintain abundant energy.
5. 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 take drugs yourself.
6. Suitable for both cold and warm weather
Pay attention to climate change, especially to prevent high temperature exposure, cold and rain; Or swim in the water, or wash your hair and feet with cold water, or sit in the cold for a long time.
Step 7 avoid sexual intercourse
During menstruation, 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 weakened. If you have sex at this time, it will bring bacteria in and easily lead to genital inflammation. If the fallopian tube is inflamed, adhered and blocked, it will also cause infertility. It can also cause prolonged menstruation and even collapse. Therefore, women should prohibit sexual intercourse during menstruation to prevent infection.
