8 things to pay attention to during menstruation

Menstruation is very important for women. Normal menstruation occurs once a year. If abnormal phenomena occur, it means that there is something wrong with the woman's body. For example, some diseases can cause irregular menstruation. It is especially important to note that irregular menstruation can affect women's future fertility. Therefore, women should understand the precautions during menstruation to prevent abnormal menstruation.

Some women will still eat cold drinks and touch cold water as before after their menstruation. This situation often causes abnormal menstruation in women. It is normal for menstruation to not occur after pregnancy. Or after menopause, there will be no menstruation. However, if you do not have your period regularly, you will need treatment. Let’s first look at the issues that need attention during menstruation.

1. Avoid eating raw or cold food during menstruation. Because raw and cold food can easily cause pelvic blood vessels to constrict and lead to too little menstrual blood flow. If you don't pay attention, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders may occur in the long run. In addition to not consuming ice cream during menstruation, women should pay special attention to keeping warm during menstruation, avoid cold, wading, rain, exposure to the sun and cold showers, and should refrain from sexual intercourse, tub baths and swimming, and keep the vulva, underwear and sanitary napkins clean.

2. Some blood will be lost during menstruation. In the later period of menstruation, you should supplement with foods rich in protein and iron, such as lean meat, fish, pork liver, etc.

3. Do not take a cold shower during menstruation. The stimulation of cold water can cause abdominal pain and menstrual blood flow problems in women during menstruation.

4. Cotton sanitary napkins are recommended for people with sensitive skin. When choosing sanitary napkins, cotton should be preferred. Although dry mesh sanitary napkins absorb quickly and have good anti-rewet properties, their fiber texture is not as soft as cotton, and repeated friction with the skin can easily cause allergic symptoms.

5. Do not beat your back during menstruation. During menstruation, the pelvic cavity becomes congested, which can cause lower back pain. Many people tend to hit their waists with their fists, which can aggravate the pelvic congestion and accelerate blood flow, which in turn makes the lower back pain more severe and leads to excessive menstruation.

6. It is not advisable to wear tight pants during menstruation. Wearing tight underwear during menstruation can easily make menstrual blood flow out smoothly. When taking it off and putting it on, the pelvic and abdominal pressure will cause a sudden change, causing menstrual blood to flow back and symptoms of lower back pain and abdominal pain during menstruation.

7. It is not advisable to sing loudly during menstruation. During menstruation, the respiratory mucosa and vocal cords will become congested and swollen, and singing loudly will cause vocal cord muscle fatigue.

8. It is not advisable to drink green tea during menstruation. It plays an important role in human health. However, for women during menstruation, drinking green tea is not only bad for health, but may also cause trouble to the body. Because women often have symptoms of constipation during menstruation, which is related to the secretion of progesterone. The higher amount of tannic acid in green tea can also aggravate constipation symptoms because tannic acid has an astringent effect that can slow down intestinal motility and cause stool to remain in the intestines.

Female friends all know the precautions during menstruation. In addition to the above issues, women should also pay attention to diet during menstruation. In this case, women can eat more foods such as peanuts, walnuts and dates. This can ensure smooth blood flow and reduce dysmenorrhea.
