1. Can women take a bath during menstruation?

Menstruation is a normal physiological function, and the waste in the body is excreted through the narrow uterine orifice through the blood. If there is a blood clot, then this will block the exit and let dirty blood stay in the uterus, which will form dysmenorrhea. Therefore, the vulva needs to be cleaned sooner or later to avoid residual secretions in the vagina.

Many old people warn young people not to take a bath during menstruation. Because the endometrium falls off during menstruation, there is a wound in the uterine cavity. Cervical mucus is washed away by menstrual blood, and the cervix is slightly open. There is menstrual blood in vagina, which is a good culture medium for bacteria. The above causes the local protective barrier function of reproductive tract to be temporarily destroyed, and then the systemic resistance decreases during menstruation. When taking a bath, the sewage and bacteria in the vagina may go up to the uterine cavity through the cervical canal, causing infection. Therefore, it is best not to take a bath during menstruation, and the body can't suffer from a little cold.

But bathing can remove sweat and oil stains, relieve fatigue, relax muscles and promote blood circulation, improve sleep, improve skin's metabolic function and disease resistance, and can treat some diseases. So if you feel uncomfortable without washing, it is ok to wash it once.

Second, what should I pay attention to when taking a bath during menstruation?

When menstruation comes, the pelvic cavity is in a state of congestion. Correspondingly, the blood circulating to other places will be less, and the blood flowing naturally to the head will also increase. When washing your hair, if the scalp is cold, it will lead to the contraction of scalp blood vessels, which will make its blood decrease unsmooth, which is the weakness that leads to blood circulation. Therefore, it is best not to wash your hair during menstruation, especially when the menstrual flow is relatively large.

When taking a cold bath, because the water temperature is too low, the human body will feel cold and produce a series of stress reactions, such as rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, muscle contraction and nervous tension. It can not only eliminate fatigue, but also easily cause colds and should be avoided as much as possible. Because of its special physiological reasons, especially when female friends are in menstruation, lactation and pregnancy, the stimulation of cold water will cause endocrine disorders, amenorrhea and abdominal pain, and many bacteria will also enter the vagina to cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, which will seriously affect women's future pregnancy and health. Therefore, the bath water temperature during menstrual period should not be too low, and the hot bath water temperature should not be too high. Generally, warm water of 35 ~ 40℃ is appropriate.

In order to avoid causing vaginal infection, you can't take a bath in the bath. At present, the generally accepted bathing in menstrual period is shower or rubbing.

Wash the vulva with shower gel when taking a bath, and be sure to wash the vagina repeatedly with hot water to prevent vaginal infection from causing vulva itching and other symptoms.

Women's vagina is usually in an acidic environment, which can resist bacteria, but it is easy to get infected during menstruation. Therefore, it is best not to use lotion for bathing during menstruation, and it is best to rinse with water.

Women come to menstruation every month, and each menstrual period lasts for more than four or five days. It is not a big problem to take a bath 1 time a week in winter. You can try to avoid the menstrual period. Obesity and exuberant sebaceous glands can appropriately increase the number of baths. The frequency of bathing and shampooing should not be too much, because too many times will wash off all the oil normally secreted on the skin surface and the protective flora normally parasitic on the skin surface, which will easily cause diseases such as itching of the skin, weaken the skin's resistance and make it easy to get sick.

Third, menstrual diet aftercare

One of the principles of women's beauty and fitness diet is the "periodic diet" which is consistent with the change of menstrual cycle. This is also the most important difference between men and women in maintaining beauty and strengthening diet.

Many women will have some uncomfortable symptoms in the first few days of menstrual cramps (premenstrual period), such as depression, anxiety, emotional tension, insomnia, irritability, fatigue and so on. It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. At this time, women should choose foods and drugs that are not only beneficial to skin care, but also beneficial to qi, soothing the liver and regulating bad emotions, such as Chinese cabbage, grapefruit, lean pork, celery, japonica rice, duck eggs, fried atractylodes, yam, coix seed, lily, honeydew melon, wax gourd, kelp, sea cucumber, carrot, white radish, walnut kernel, black fungus and mushrooms.

When menstruation comes, there will be symptoms such as loss of appetite, backache and fatigue. At this time, it is advisable to choose foods and drugs that are beneficial to both skin beauty and "water swimming". Suitable foods and medicines are: mutton, chicken, red dates, bean curd skin, apples, coix seed, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, prepared rehmannia root, peach blossom and so on.

Zhao Zhibi, an ancient man, said: "When the water travels, Geder is often cold, and cold stops its blood, making it endless and full of filth." Therefore, during menstruation, many foods with good skin care and beauty effects should also be fasted, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, tremella, stone flowers, water chestnuts, white gourd, kale, black fungus, rabbit meat, almonds and so on.

As mentioned above, you will lose some blood when your period comes. The main components of blood are plasma protein, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium and other inorganic salts. In other words, every time you come to menstruation, you will lose some protein and inorganic salts. Therefore, in principle, protein, minerals and other nutrients should be supplemented and some blood-enriching drugs should be used within 1-5 days after menstruation. During this period, the foods and drugs that can not only beautify the face, but also enrich the blood and promote blood circulation are: milk, eggs, quail eggs, beef and mutton, pig pancreas, Euryale ferox, spinach, cherry, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, safflower, peach blossom, prepared rhizome of rehmannia, Polygonatum and so on.

Four main points of menstrual exercise

Can you do exercise during menstruation? In fact, healthy women with normal menstruation can and should not only exercise, but also contribute to the balance of the nervous system, which is conducive to blood circulation, contraction and relaxation of abdominal muscles and pelvic muscles, and make menstrual blood discharge smoother.

The change of gonad will inevitably affect the immune system, and the energy, physical strength and disease resistance will decline. Therefore, it is not suitable to engage in long-distance jogging, jumping, swimming, throwing, spiking and other sports with heavy negative weight. Try to reduce strength exercises for the first three days and do some moderate aerobic exercise. Your athletic performance starts from the fifth day and lasts for two weeks. Your athletic ability and changes are the most obvious, and then there is a one-week maintenance period. Then repeat the beginning.

Note: during menstruation, try to reduce the movement of high legs and abdominal movement, which will increase abdominal pressure. Do not do abdominal massage. If there are complications such as hemoptysis, asthma and joint pain during menstruation, it is best to stop exercising.
