If you don't pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, you will be easily affected by the external and internal environment and produce various diseases. Especially in adolescence, when menstruation comes, the development of reproductive system is not fully mature. Short-term amenorrhea or menstrual cycle disorder often occurs within 65,438+0-2 years after menarche. Sometimes, menstrual disorder, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, too much or too little menstrual flow are all caused by environmental changes, emotional fluctuations, cold stimulation or overwork, so we should pay attention to menstrual hygiene.
The main contents of menstrual hygiene are:
1. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection: pay attention to the cleanliness of external genitalia, and do not take a bath during menstruation. You can take a bath to prevent upward infection. The sanitary napkins used should be soft, clean and frequently changed.
2. Pay attention to keep warm and avoid cold stimulation, such as swimming, cold water bath and going to paddy fields. If you are suddenly stimulated by cold during menstruation, it will lead to hypomenorrhea or dysmenorrhea.
3. Keep cheerful and avoid mental stimulation and mood swings.
4. Avoid overwork, avoid cold, hot and sour, alcohol and other irritating foods, drink more boiled water, keep the stool unobstructed, reduce pelvic congestion, and pay attention to proper rest and adequate sleep.
Ten Misconducts in Women's Menstruation
Improper action 1, emotional.
During menstruation, keep a happy mood as usual, prevent mood swings, and don't get excited when something happens. It is extremely important to keep a stable mood. Such as emotional excitement, depression and anger often lead to qi stagnation, which in turn leads to late menstruation, dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea.
According to the investigation, all human activities are carried out under the control of neurohumors, so this normal periodic physiological change of women, especially the change of endocrine hormone level, can directly or indirectly affect their mental state and learning efficiency.
For example, during menstruation, due to the sudden drop of estrogen and progesterone levels in the body, the spiral arteriole in the uterus ruptures, and the uterus falls off, necrosis and shedding, which can cause a series of uncomfortable reactions in the human body. Coupled with some psychological factors, such as dizziness, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, will lead to low work efficiency and bad mood.
After entering the proliferation period, oocytes gradually grow and develop, secrete estrogen, and the uterus is repaired and proliferated. Just like a dead tree in spring, body functions and activities are gradually balanced, and people's spirit, study and work efficiency are also in a good state.
Near the secretory phase, after the egg matures and is discharged, the levels of progesterone and estrogen rise and reach a certain proportion, the endometrium continues to thicken, the blood supply of the endometrium is sufficient, and the neuroendocrine activity is stable, which makes people's work enthusiasm and efficiency at a climax. But in the premenstrual period, the amount of estrogen and progesterone began to decline again, followed by the next menstrual period.
It can be seen that women's different reactions at different stages of menstrual cycle are closely related to their bodies. The reason is that the activities among hypothalamus, cerebral cortex, ovary and uterus restrict and influence each other. Therefore, women of childbearing age should pay attention to the following two aspects.
1, arrange the time reasonably
In view of the fact that most women are full of energy, emotional stability and high efficiency in work and study within 20 days of menstrual cycle, we should make full use of this effective time, pay close attention to work and study, and reduce the load of work or study during menstrual period.
2. Avoid the influence of unfavorable factors.
Pay attention to health care during menstruation, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive cold stimulation, take a proper rest, relax yourself, exercise self-restraint, and minimize mood swings.
Misconduct 2. Overworked
During menstruation, we should pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of work and rest time, avoid strenuous exercise and manual labor, and achieve a combination of work and rest.
Why do you have dysmenorrhea during menstruation? It may be related to overwork, nervousness, colds and allergies during menstruation.
The factors related to dysmenorrhea are:
(1) Pay attention to insufficient hygiene during menstruation and pregnancy; Began to have sex too early; Many sexual partners can cause inflammation.
(2) Excessive induced abortion or intrauterine operation, causing adhesion and inflammation.
(3) Contraception: Dysmenorrhea has a certain relationship with contraception, especially the placement of intrauterine device -IUD, which can often aggravate the degree of dysmenorrhea. This may be due to the increase of prostaglandin (pg) production in endometrial tissue after IUD placement, which leads to the aggravation of dysmenorrhea. Contraceptive pills contain progesterone, which can relax uterine smooth muscle, so it can relieve the pain caused by spasm. Oral contraceptives can reduce the incidence and degree of primary dysmenorrhea.
(4) Influence of menstrual cycle and menstrual length: Generally speaking, the severity of dysmenorrhea is not affected by the length of menstrual cycle, but because dysmenorrhea itself manifests as menstrual abdominal pain, the pain of menstrual elderly people often lasts for a long time, which is most prominent in patients with endometriosis.
(5) Other factors: It is reported that obese people may be more prone to dysmenorrhea. It has also been reported that the degree of dysmenorrhea in smokers is often more serious than that in non-smokers, and the degree of dysmenorrhea is often aggravated with the increase of smoking, which may be due to the fact that smoking often causes vasoconstriction, leading to ischemia and pain.
Bian Xiao recommended: banana milk and honey to deal with dysmenorrhea.
Misconduct 3. Drink strong tea.
Drink more boiled water during menstruation, not strong tea. Because strong tea contains high caffeine, it will stimulate the nervous and cardiovascular system and 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 will precipitate, affect the absorption of iron and cause anemia. In addition, it is best not to drink, smoke or eat irritating food during menstruation.
Improper behavior. undernutrition
Because a certain amount of blood will be lost every month after menstrual cramps, it is necessary to appropriately increase nutrition, such as protein, vitamins, iron and calcium. Eat more eggs, lean meat, fish, bean products, fresh vegetables and fruits during menstruation.
Women should not eat these things during menstruation.
1. Cold food: Cold food mentioned by Chinese medicine such as pear, banana, water chestnut, tremella, rock flower, tremella, etc. Most of these foods have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and reducing fire.
Eating them at ordinary times is good for the human body, but try not to eat or eat less of these foods during menstruation, otherwise it will easily cause dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation and other symptoms.
2. Spicy: such as cinnamon, pepper, clove, pepper, etc. This food is a condiment. When cooking, putting some pepper in the dish can make the dish taste better. However, menstrual women should not eat these spicy and irritating foods, otherwise it will easily lead to dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia.
3. Foods that affect sexual function: water chestnut, water bamboo, wax gourd, Chinese kale, bracken, rabbit meat, black fungus and hemp seed.
Some women's dysmenorrhea symptoms are beyond tolerance. If the medicine doesn't work, you must see a doctor as soon as possible. It is very important for doctors to know the severity of your dysmenorrhea. The doctor will make a diagnosis of endometriosis for you as appropriate.
4. Can women drink alcohol during menstruation? The doctor told us that the secretion of menstrual blood should not exceed 50- 120g, and alcohol will not affect it.
In addition, many women especially want to drink wine or warm wine during menstruation, which is also because their body temperature drops by 0.3-0.4 degrees during menstruation, and subconsciously want to keep their bodies warm. Therefore, drinking 1-2 glasses of wine during this period is moderate, not too much.
As a woman, no matter how much you like drinking during menstruation, you should actually protect yourself.
Edible fried food
Fried food is also a taboo for women who have been bullied. Because of the influence of progesterone on the endocrine of the receptor, the sebum secretion of menstrual women increases and the skin is greasy. At the same time, the capillaries dilate and the skin becomes sensitive. At this time, eating fried food will increase the burden on the skin, and it is prone to acne, acne, folliculitis and dark circles. In addition, due to the slow metabolism of fat and water during menstruation, eating fried food at this time makes fat easy to accumulate in the body.
Improper behavior. Still having sex.
To be honest, this is really a challenge to willpower, especially in the last day or two of menstruation.
Case: A female patient, who has been married for more than three years, has been embarrassed about one thing. Her husband is a man with strong sexual desire, and his menstrual cycle is short (generally 24 days 1 cycle), and sometimes the menstrual period is as long as 6 ~ 8 days. The husband complained a lot because he couldn't have sex during his period. I really wanted him to make an exception several times, but I was afraid that something would go wrong. To tell the truth, I still don't know why I can't sleep together during my period. I found a doctor who wanted to explain.
Professor of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine pointed out that this lady raised a very common problem, especially among some newly married young couples, this kind of anxiety will appear more frequently. It is necessary to give them guidance on menstrual sexual hygiene.
Menstruation is a unique physiological phenomenon of women. During menstruation, there will be some changes in various parts of the body, the most prominent of which are: the excitability of the cerebral cortex is reduced, and the general resistance is worse than usual; In pudendal region, endometrial shedding and bleeding, cervical opening, alkaline menstrual blood neutralization and vaginal acid environment, vaginal acid decreased, weakening the natural barrier function.
If you have sex during menstruation, it will have the following adverse consequences:
First, due to the excitement of both sides, penis insertion will make female genitals congested, leading to an increase in menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation;
Second, during sexual intercourse, the male genitals may bring bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is a good culture base for bacteria and other microorganisms. Bacteria are easy to breed, spread along many tiny wounds and ruptured small blood vessels in the endometrium, infect the endometrium, and even involve fallopian tubes and pelvic organs, which brings unnecessary trouble to the woman.
Third, menstrual secretions entering the male urethra may also cause urethritis;
Fourth, sexual intercourse during menstruation, because sperm meet with spilled blood cells in the damaged part of endometrium, and even enter the blood, can induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, leading to immune infertility.
Fifth, the menstrual period is the same, because the uterus contracts during sexual impulse, endometrial debris can also squeeze into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and infertility.
Therefore, for the health and reproductive health of both parties, menstrual sexual intercourse should be prohibited under any circumstances.
Improper movement 6, cold cold
Pay attention to keep warm during menstruation, avoid catching a cold, avoid getting wet, wading or swimming, and don't sit in a damp and cool place or at the air outlet of air conditioner or electric fan. Don't bathe and wash your feet with cold water, so as not to cause menstrual disorders.
Women should not beat their backs during menstruation.
In daily life, we often meet many women, who often have backache before and after menstrual cramps, so we use back rubs and other methods to relieve backache. In fact, this pat on the back is not desirable, and the result is often counterproductive.
During menstruation, women will feel slight discomfort due to pelvic congestion, such as backache, calf or lower abdomen swelling, breast pain, frequent defecation, diarrhea, constipation and so on. Some women are accompanied by systemic symptoms, such as burnout, lethargy, facial edema, emotional instability, impatience and so on. These are normal physiological phenomena during menstruation and generally do not need treatment.
However, at this time, if you beat your back hard at will, it will often aggravate your back pain. This is because beating the back will make the pelvic cavity more congested and the blood flow faster, leading to menorrhagia, prolonged menstrual period and more serious back pain. At the same time, due to the decline of systemic and local resistance of menstrual women, it is not conducive to the repair and healing of wounds after endometrial exfoliation during menstruation, and it is also easy to cause infection and suffer from acute and chronic gynecological diseases.
It can be seen that women should not beat their waist during menstruation, otherwise it will be unfavorable to their physical and mental health during menstruation.
Improper behavior 7, sitz bath
Some people usually like sitz bath, but during the menstrual period, because the cervix is slightly open, sitz bath or basin bath is easy to make polluted water enter the uterine cavity, leading to inflammation of reproductive organs.
You can't swim for three days before and after menstruation.
At the same time, remember to avoid menstruation, and it is best to swim after menstruation for 3 days. Strengthen self-protection in swimming, even if there is no gynecological inflammation and no menstrual women, always pay attention to swimming and strengthen self-care awareness.
Improper behavior. Wear tight pants.
Many women choose to wear tight underwear during menstruation. They think that this can not only avoid the embarrassment of side leakage, but also relieve abdominal pain to some extent. Actually, this is unscientific. It is best for women to choose slightly loose underwear during menstruation.
Foreign medical research shows that a large part of gynecological diseases are caused by wearing tight underwear. Endometriosis is a disease with high incidence at present. One of the causes of this disease is endometriosis caused by menstrual blood flowing back to abdominal cavity. The most common problems of patients are dysmenorrhea and infertility.
If women often wear tight underwear, especially during menstruation, it is easy to make menstrual blood flow smoothly, and the pressure in the pelvic cavity will suddenly change after taking it off, which will easily lead to menstrual blood reflux, which will eventually lead to back pain, abdominal pain and even infertility during menstruation.
During the menstrual period, a large amount of menstrual blood will flow out. If the perineum permeability is not good at this time, the humid environment may cause the growth of some microorganisms, and some fungal vaginitis is produced in this way. If the treatment is not timely, it may also infect the pelvic cavity. Moreover, there are a large number of hair follicle glands in the perineum of women, and tight underwear is easy to hinder the secretion of sweat glands, which is especially obvious during menstruation. If the cleaning is not enough, bacteria will multiply in large numbers, leading to inflammation of hair follicle glands, and a few may also lead to diseases such as loose inflammation of connective tissue and abscess of vestibular glands.
Special note: Long-term waist tightening will squeeze the waist fat, make the waist gourd-shaped, hinder the blood circulation of the waist, easily lead to chronic lumbar muscle strain, and also press the gastrointestinal tract, affecting blood oxygen supply and normal peristalsis, leading to loss of appetite and indigestion. So don't miss your health because you are slim.
Because the waist and abdomen will sweat a lot during menstrual period, it is easy to produce bacterial infection, so it is best to choose cotton underwear with good permeability and change it every day.
Improper behavior. Hum loudly.
During menstruation, women's respiratory mucosa is congested, and their vocal cords are also congested and even swollen. Humming or talking loudly makes vocal cord muscles tired.
Improper operation 10, X-ray inspection
Women of childbearing age are ovulating before menstruation. X-ray examination at this time will damage the egg or fertilized egg, resulting in embryonic dysplasia, congenital malformation, deformity, mental retardation and limb defect after birth.
Don't pull out your teeth during menstruation.
I'm afraid few dentists will ask you if you have your period before tooth extraction, but you must know that you can't pull out your teeth during menstruation! Otherwise, not only will the amount of bleeding increase during tooth extraction, but there will be blood smell in the mouth for a long time after tooth extraction, which will affect appetite and lead to menstrual malnutrition. This is because during menstruation, the endometrium releases more tissue-activating substances, which activate the plasminogen in the blood into fibrinolytic enzyme with anticoagulant effect, and at the same time, the number of platelets in the body is also reduced, so the coagulation ability of the body is reduced and the hemostasis time is prolonged.
Bian Xiao tip: It is recommended to do it during menstruation.
1, be sure to get enough sleep during menstruation and don't do very tired exercise.
2, menstrual period is impetuous, sleep is not very good, so drinking a glass of milk before going to bed has a calming effect.
3, pay special attention to eye rest during menstruation, Chinese medicine says: long-term vision hurts blood. So we should reduce the time of reading. Don't read in dim light. The skin around the eyes is very thin, and the capillaries dilate, causing congestion.
4, dysmenorrhea can be heated with a hot water bottle and a hand treasure. Generally, dysmenorrhea is due to the pain, so give it a warm temperature to relieve the pain.
5, you can drink some soup, mainly beauty soup, such as winter melon soup, spinach soup, chicken soup with a little angelica and so on. Everything is fine.
6. During menstruation, you can make a little light makeup during the day and cover dull skin with liquid foundation.
7, menstrual perm has nothing to do, just change the shape of the hair, there are no blood vessels in the hair. But don't perm your hair during pregnancy, don't use instruments for beauty, you can do simple skin care and wash your face.
8. If the dark circles are obvious, you can apply the tea bag you have drunk on your eyes, which has a good effect on removing dark circles.
9, menstrual period must pay attention to clean the skin, first clean the skin with warm water, then rinse with cold water, promote blood circulation, and properly apply some nutritional cream to the skin.
10, the oil secretion of the skin is too strong, oily skin contains acidity, and soothing with potatoes can calm and balance the endocrine of the skin. Oily skin can also be pasted with potato chips at ordinary times.
