Maybe I can help you!

1. Can women wash their hair during their menstrual period?

Generally speaking, women will feel tired and weak when they have their period, which is a very obvious manifestation of physical weakness. The resistance will also be much lower than normal during this period. If women wash their hair during menstruation, it will easily make them catch a cold and aggravate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Especially for those women who already have dysmenorrhea, they should pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, and they should not take a bath with cold water, and it is best not to wash their hair.

2. The harm of washing hair during menstruation:

The weather is quite cold nowadays. When women have their first menstruation, the pelvis is in a state of hematoma, and relatively less blood flows into other parts of the body. As a result, the blood flow to the head will become less. If the hair touches cold water during this period, or if you go to work or go outdoors immediately after washing your hair, it will cause the blood vessels in your hair to contract, causing blood to decrease and become blocked, resulting in poor circulation.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the head is the head of the six yang meridians, and the uterus is the starting point of the yin meridian. During the menstrual period, the blood circulation is relatively poor. If the blood is concentrated in the head due to washing your hair, it will affect the normal blood circulation of the uterus, causing the uterus to be unable to fully discharge the toxins and waste in the uterus, which can easily lead to symptoms such as scanty menstruation and dysmenorrhea, and will easily lead to the occurrence of gynecological diseases later.
