What are the taboos during menstruation

Many female friends don’t know what they should and should not do during their menstruation, which poses a certain threat to their health. There are many things you need to pay attention to during menstruation, because during menstruation, women's bodies are relatively weak. At this time, the body's immune ability will also be reduced, so you need to know the taboos to prevent diseases from invading yourself.

1. Emotional excitement

During menstruation, you should keep a happy mood as usual, prevent mood swings, don't get excited when things happen, and it is extremely important to maintain a stable mood. For example, emotional excitement, depression and anger often cause qi stagnation, which in turn leads to late menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, etc.

2. Overwork

During menstruation, you should pay attention to arranging your work and rest time reasonably, avoid strenuous exercise and physical labor, and combine work and rest. Excessive exertion during menstruation may lead to prolonged menstruation or excessive menstruation; on the contrary, excessive relaxation may cause stagnation of Qi and blood, which may easily lead to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.

3. Drink strong tea

During menstruation, you should drink more boiled water and avoid strong tea. Because strong tea contains high caffeine, it can stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system, and can easily lead to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation or excessive bleeding. At the same time, the tannic acid in tea combines with the iron in food in the intestines and precipitates, affecting iron absorption and causing anemia. In addition, it is best not to drink alcohol, smoke, or eat spicy food during menstruation.

4. Malnutrition

Because a certain amount of blood is lost every month after menstruation, it is necessary to increase nutrition appropriately, such as protein, vitamins, iron, calcium, etc. During menstruation, you should eat more eggs, lean meat, fish, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. It is not advisable to overeat or have a certain food preference. If you eat too much spicy and yang-enhancing food, it may lead to early menstruation, menorrhagia, etc.; eating too much cold and raw food may cause dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and leucorrhea.

5. Still have sex

Sexual intercourse should be prohibited during menstruation because during menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated and fresh wounds are formed in the uterine cavity. If you have sexual intercourse, you may bring in bacteria, causing inflammation of the reproductive organs, and it may also increase the amount of menstrual blood or prolong the menstrual period.

6. Suffering from cold

During menstruation, keep warm and avoid catching cold. Do not get caught in the rain, wade or swim. Do not sit in damp, shady places or near air conditioners or electric fans. Also, do not use cold water to take a bath or wash your feet, so as not to cause menstrual disorders.

7. Sitz bath

Some people like to take a sitz bath, but during the menstrual period, because the cervix is ​​slightly open, a sitz bath or a tub bath can easily allow contaminated water to enter the uterine cavity, causing inflammation of the reproductive organs.

I have introduced above some knowledge about taboos during menstruation. I believe that after reading it, you will have a clearer understanding in this regard. Female friends must know how to take care of themselves and understand their physical conditions in life. When you have your period, you need to pay attention to your diet and rest time.
