Women should be aware of the six "forbidden things" during menstruation

During the sensitive period when "Age Flo" arrives, we all know that we should pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm, but some taboos during menstruation are often overlooked. The editor of Popular Health Network introduces 6 major "taboos" during menstruation, let's learn about them quickly.

1. Avoid eating fried foods

You should eat less fried foods in normal times, especially during menstruation. During menstruation, women's sebum secretion increases, their skin becomes oily, their capillaries dilate, and their skin becomes sensitive. Eating fried foods at this time will increase the burden on the skin's excretion and easily cause acne, acne, folliculitis, and dark circles. Furthermore, since the body's metabolism of fat and water weakens during menstruation, eating fried foods at this time will easily cause fat to accumulate in the body, increasing the chance of gaining weight.

Recommendation: During menstruation, the diet should be light and you should avoid eating too much greasy or fried food. On the premise of ensuring nutrition such as protein, you should also eat more iron-rich foods to replenish the iron carried away by menstrual blood in time.

2. Avoid drinking too much tea

Are there any taboos in drinking tea? Tea contains a certain amount of tannic acid, which can combine with the iron in food and blood, thus directly blocking the gastrointestinal absorption of iron and hindering the normal utilization of iron in the blood. Drinking too much or too strong tea during menstruation can cause iron absorption and utilization disorders, and easily lead to iron deficiency anemia.

Recommendation: It is better for women to drink warm water during menstruation. It is best not to drink tea, especially strong tea.

3. No drinking

During menstruation, women's alcohol-degrading enzymes (such as alcohol dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, etc.) decrease in their bodies. Drinking at this time is not only easy to get drunk, but also causes more serious damage to the liver than usual, increasing the possibility of causing liver dysfunction. At the same time, alcohol has the effect of promoting menstruation and activating blood circulation. Drinking during menstruation can easily lead to excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation, which is not good for health.

Recommendation: You should try to avoid drinking alcohol during menstruation, and it is best to say "no" to alcohol. I hope other wine lovers can understand this.

4. Avoid hitting your back

Many women often feel back pain before and after their menstrual period. They often beat their backs with their hands, which temporarily relieves the pain, but doing so may cause greater trouble. If you hit your back hard at this time, the local area will be stimulated by vibration, which will lead to further congestion and accelerated blood flow in the pelvic cavity, resulting in increased menstrual flow, thus causing excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation.

Recommendation: Women should pay attention to rest more when they suffer from back pain during menstruation, and avoid beating their backs at will to avoid adverse consequences.

5. No generous singing

Is it wrong to sing Karaoke during menstruation? Also during menstruation, the voice will not be as mellow and pleasant as usual, and the throat is prone to fatigue. This is due to changes in the endocrine system during menstruation. During the menstrual period, in addition to the changes in women's reproductive organs such as the uterus and breasts under the influence of hormones, the vocal cords also change, mainly manifested in the capillaries in the vocal cords becoming congested and edematous, and the vocal cords becoming brittle. If you sing loudly during menstruation, it will cause strain on your vocal cords, which will become injured and thickened, and your melodious voice will become hoarse and low. According to statistics, clinically, there are significantly more female patients with vocal cord hemorrhage than male patients, and this is the main reason.

Suggestion: To protect your sweet and melodious singing voice, please do not sing loudly or strain your voice from two days before your period to the end of your period. Give your vocal cords a good rest.

6. No tight pants allowed

Girls all like to wear tight pants, but they are absolutely not allowed to wear them during menstruation. However, wearing tight pants that are smaller than your hips during menstruation will compress local capillaries, thereby affecting blood circulation, increasing perineal friction, and easily causing perineal congestion and edema. At the same time, the labia majora and minora of the female external genitalia have many wrinkles, and sweat glands, sebaceous glands and vaginal secretions are often accumulated, so there are more parasitic bacteria.

Recommendation: During menstruation, you should wear cotton underwear that is breathable and absorbent, and make sure it is slightly loose (including outer pants). Change and wash them frequently to keep your vagina clean and dry.
