1, no sleeping position during menstruation.
1, shrinking to sleep
Girls who are menstruating and have unbearable pain should often use this sleeping position to shrink themselves into a ball in order to relieve abdominal pain. It's just that this sleeping position can't help you relieve pain, but it will cause poor blood circulation, which is not conducive to menstrual blood excretion, aggravate abdominal pain and hurt your lumbar and cervical vertebrae.
Step 2 sleep on your stomach
When lying on your back, many people will have menstrual leakage, so some people simply sleep on their stomachs, and sleeping on their stomachs can also relieve abdominal pain. But you will find that when you get up the next day, your low back pain and abdominal pain are aggravated. Sleeping on your stomach is particularly bad for your internal organs and will oppress your chest. Then your dream of breast enhancement through menstruation will be shattered, and it may also lead to some breast diseases.
Put your arms on your back when you sleep
Many people have the habit of sleeping with their arms pressed. When they woke up, they found that their arms could not move. If they press their arms like this during menstruation, it will also affect the blood circulation of the body and hinder the discharge of menstrual blood. In more serious cases, it will also lead to poor breathing and affect the entire reproductive system. As the saying goes, it is for this reason that the whole body is moved by one stroke.
Step 4 curl up on the sofa and sleep
Menstruation is coming. Because he is not feeling well, he especially likes lying on the sofa watching TV and sleeping. It sounds so enjoyable, but soon you will find that your face is getting worse, dull and even rougher. This is because lying on the sofa will dilate your blood vessels, thus reducing the blood flow to organs, which is also not conducive to menstrual blood discharge. Excessive uterine toxins can cause a series of gynecological diseases.
Step 5 sleep on your back
Sleeping on your back is the most commonly used sleeping position, so you don't have to worry about internal organs being oppressed. But this sleeping position is not suitable for menstrual period. We also mentioned earlier that sleeping on your back is easy to let menstrual blood leak out. What a painful realization it is to find that your pants and bed are the same color in the morning. And for people with dysmenorrhea, lying on your back will also aggravate the symptoms.
6. Lack of sleep
The average person's sleep time is 8 hours, but it is best to ensure that the menstrual period is 9 hours, so that your skin and body can reach the best state. For white-collar workers, they usually work overtime and stay up late, and they don't get enough sleep for 8 hours, but at least during menstruation, they should take care of themselves and not be too tired.
2. How to sleep best during menstruation?
There is no doubt that this is a well-known thing. We all know that sleeping on the right side is the best sleeping position, and sleeping on the side can also reduce the leakage of menstrual blood, but some people will say that sleeping on the left side is also sleeping on the side, so why sleep on the right side? The main problem is visceral compression. Sleeping on the right side will not oppress the heart, which is the only place for human blood circulation. If it goes well here, the rest will work normally.
Of course, if you want menstruation to be good for you, you should also be good for menstruation. Don't eat food that menstruation doesn't like, such as cold and spicy food. During this period, keep warm and don't let your abdomen and lower body catch cold. When you have menstrual pain, you can use hot compress or drink some warm drinks, such as ginger sugar tea. In short, the body is your own, so take good care of it.
3. 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.
