What should you pay attention to during your menstrual period?

Menstruation refers to the menstrual cycle of women, which happens once a month. There are many things to pay attention to during menstruation. If you do not pay attention, it may affect your physical health. So, many female friends may ask, what should we pay attention to during menstruation? During menstruation, you should pay attention to some specific issues such as diet, entertainment, exercise, sexual intercourse, cleanliness and personal hygiene.

For some people, their hormones increase in the last one or two days of their menstrual period, their desire begins to increase, and the amount of menstrual blood decreases significantly. They think that having sex at this time is harmless. In fact, this is a wrong idea. For the sake of good health and smooth birth of the baby, parents are advised to avoid having sex during menstruation. Because having sex at this time can easily bring bacteria into the vagina. In addition, bacteria can easily grow under the influence of menstrual blood, the endometrium is easily infected, and even the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity may be affected.

In severe cases, the uterus contracts during intercourse, squeezing endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility. For men, women's menstrual secretions can also enter the male urethra during intercourse, which may cause urethritis.

If you want to remove decayed teeth or wisdom teeth, never choose to remove them during your menstrual period. Because the number of platelets in the body decreases at this time, the blood coagulation ability is much worse than usual. If traumatic surgery such as tooth extraction is performed at this time, the time to stop bleeding will be prolonged, resulting in more bleeding and longer bleeding time than usual, increasing the risk of surgery.

In addition, when you have a tooth extracted during menstruation, your tension and pain will stimulate uterine contraction and cause a large amount of menstrual blood to be discharged. Moreover, because the body's blood coagulation ability is reduced during menstruation, a bloody smell will remain in the mouth for a long time after tooth extraction, affecting appetite.

In addition, during menstruation, do not drink alcohol or coffee, eat a light diet, and do not use lotion to clean the vulva, because the vulva will have an odor during menstruation, and the vaginal environment during menstruation will tend to be alkaline, which reduces the ability to inhibit bacterial growth and makes it easy to be infected with bacteria. Another thing to note is to try not to eat fried foods, because greasy food can easily make people lose their appetite.
