1. Why does it itch down there before the period?

If you are experiencing vaginal itching now, it may be related to vaginitis. It is best to go to the hospital to check the leucorrhea 3-7 days after your period ends.

1. Avoid cold water during menstruation

Women's bodies are originally yin, so they should avoid cold drinks during menstruation and never touch cold water, which can easily cause lower abdominal pain and cause dysmenorrhea. So when you have your period, don’t drink or touch cold water, especially in the cold winter.

2. Don’t take a bath during menstruation

If you take a shower every time you have your period, it is easy for bacteria to grow in your body and cause gynecological problems. Sometimes you will feel very uncomfortable after taking a shower, so don't take a shower or a tub bath during your period.

3. Choose good quality sanitary napkins

During menstruation, you should buy good quality sanitary napkins and pay attention to your own hygiene. Many friends always buy sanitary napkins of very poor quality in order to save money during menstruation, which results in bacterial infection and gynecological inflammation. Taking medicine cannot always heal quickly. Therefore, women should change their underwear frequently during menstruation and buy pure cotton sanitary napkins.

4. Do not do strenuous exercise during menstruation

During menstruation, do not do strenuous exercise for the sake of exercising. Even if you want to lose weight, you should exercise in moderation. You can practice Tai Chi, yoga and other exercises. You can also go out for walks and relax often. Doing strenuous exercise can cause unclean excretion in the body, so you must be careful.

So keep a happy mood and drink some red dates porridge every day to regulate the problem of poor blood circulation, which is more beneficial to your body and mind. If you drink some ginger and sugar water, it can also warm your stomach. During menstruation, you should not eat cold food, chili peppers, or drink alcohol to avoid stimulation that may cause irregular menstruation.
