1. Sexual intercourse is not suitable. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed and wounds are formed on the surface of the uterine cavity. During sexual intercourse, it is easy for bacteria to enter the uterus retrogradely, causing intrauterine infection, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Do not eat too much salt. Eating too much salt will increase the salt and water storage in the body. You will experience headaches, excitement and irritability on the eve of menstruation. You should start eating low-salt foods 10 days before menstruation.

3. Avoid drinking strong tea, as the caffeine content in strong tea is high, which can stimulate nerves and cardiovascular system and easily cause

4. It is not advisable to sit in a bath. During the menstrual period, sitting in a bath or taking a bath in a tub with the cervix slightly open can easily allow sewage to enter the uterine cavity and cause inflammation of the reproductive organs.

5. Do not wear tight pants. If you wear tight pants with small hip circumference during menstruation, it will compress local capillaries, thus affecting blood circulation and increasing perineal friction, which can easily cause perineal congestion and edema.

6. It is not advisable to sing loudly. During menstruation, women's respiratory mucosa is congested and the vocal cords are also congested. Singing loudly or talking loudly will easily fatigue the vocal cord muscles, which will cause glottal disharmony and hoarseness. However, there is no need to be too nervous. In most cases, singing K or talking with a normal voice should not be a problem. However, if you sing high notes for a long time or challenge high-range songs, it may cause vocal cord injury.

7. It is not advisable to beat the back. Beating can cause further congestion in the pelvis and accelerated blood flow, leading to excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation. In addition, many women will experience severe back pain during menstruation. They may choose to have others massage them or beat themselves to relieve waist fatigue and soreness. Chen Zhiliao said that it is very normal for women to experience back pain during menstruation, which is caused by pelvic congestion. Blindly massaging or beating the waist vigorously at this time will cause the pelvic congestion to become more serious, which will aggravate the back pain.

8. Avoid using shower gel to clean the genitals. Consequences: Cause genital infection and itching. The genitals are prone to odor during menstruation, especially in summer. However, it is not healthy to use shower gel to clean the genitals or to wash the genitals repeatedly with hot water while taking a bath. Instead, it is easy to cause genital infection and itching. Because the female vagina is a slightly acidic environment on weekdays, it can inhibit bacterial growth, but during menstruation, the vagina will be alkaline, and the resistance to bacteria will be reduced, making it easy to be infected. If you do not use professional vaginal cleaning fluid or wash it repeatedly with hot water, it will lead to an increase in alkalinity. Therefore, you need to choose professional vaginal cleaning fluid to clean the genitals, especially during menstruation!

Menstruation is a period when women are more vulnerable, but it is also an inevitable period. In order to feel better during these days, everyone should pay attention to daily maintenance. Do not eat cold or spicy food a few days before and after the menstrual period, and pay attention to keeping the feet and lower abdomen warm. This will make our menstrual period more comfortable.
