2. 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.
