Do you sleep on your back or side during menstruation?
The correct sleeping position is the best choice!

(1) improper sleeping position 1: curled up.

Many women feel abnormal back pain during menstruation. Besides fatigue and mental stress, curled sleeping posture may also be an important cause of backache. In order to relieve abdominal discomfort, many women will adopt a curled-up fetal sleeping position during menstruation. But in fact, this kind of sleeping position will cause damage to the waist and cervical spine, cause muscle tension, and aggravate the symptoms of menstrual pain. In addition, sleeping curled up may lead to poor blood circulation, which is not conducive to the smooth discharge of menstrual blood.

(2) Improper sleeping posture 2: prone.

In order to prevent side leakage and back leakage, some women simply take a prone position. But this sleeping position will add extra pressure to joints and muscles and stimulate corresponding nerves. When you wake up, menstrual symptoms such as headache, abdominal pain and backache will get worse.

So it is recommended to sleep on the right side.

Lying on the right side is conducive to smooth blood circulation, normal operation of various organs of the body, adequate blood supply and menstrual blood outflow. Therefore, the correct sleeping position is the best sleeping position for women during menstruation. Pay attention to using light and soft sanitary napkins when the festival comes.
