Do you take any anti-inflammatory injections during menstruation?

Menstruation is a relatively important period for women. During this period, women need to do various care work. There are also some taboos that patients need to know. For women during menstruation, anti-inflammatory injections are a taboo, because women during menstruation have relatively weak resistance. If medication is used at this time, it will cause irregular menstruation or bring some other adverse consequences to women.

1. Can I get anti-inflammatory injections during menstruation?

Some people believe that the menstrual period is when the body’s immunity is the weakest, and taking anti-inflammatory measures at this time may be much more effective than usual! In fact, this is a wrong view! First of all, women's body is yin and mostly cold. If they receive intravenous drip during menstruation, the liquid will be cold, which may cause a sudden decrease or increase in menstrual flow in some people! Furthermore, if antibiotics are used too much, drug resistance will gradually develop. If you really get sick and need to use them in the future, there will be fewer and fewer medicines you can use, and the more you use them, the better!

If there is any gynecological inflammation, it is best to treat it symptomatically. If you really need an anti-inflammatory injection, then get it. If there is no inflammation, there is no need to get the vaccine. If you really want to reduce inflammation, you don't have to take it during menstruation. It will be effective at any time.

2. Taboos during menstruation

1. Women should avoid eating salty food before menstruation. Because salty food will increase the body's salt and water storage, before menstruation, the progesterone level will increase, which can easily lead to edema, headaches and other phenomena.

2. Many women who like to drink carbonated beverages will experience fatigue and lack of energy during menstruation, which is a sign of iron deficiency. Because soda and other beverages mostly contain phosphates, they react chemically with iron in the body, making it difficult to absorb the iron. In addition, drinking too much soda will neutralize the sodium bicarbonate in the soda with gastric juice, reducing the digestive ability and bactericidal effect of gastric acid and affecting appetite.

3. Do not eat spicy food and chili peppers before menstruation, and eat less fatty meat, animal oil and sweets.

4. Spicy and cold foods are irritating and can easily cause pelvic blood vessel constriction, resulting in too little menstrual blood flow or even sudden cessation of menstrual blood flow. In addition, irritating substances such as tobacco and alcohol will also have a certain impact on menstruation. If you are not careful to avoid them, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders will occur in the long run.

3. Pay attention to diet during menstruation

1. Avoid eating raw or cold food and eat warm food instead. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood flows when it is hot and stagnates when it is cold. Eating raw and cold food during menstruation can not only hinder digestion, but also easily damage the body's yang energy, leading to internal cold. The coldness will stagnate and cause menstrual blood to flow poorly, resulting in too little menstrual blood, or even dysmenorrhea. Even in the hot summer season, it is not advisable to eat cold drinks during menstruation. During menstruation, the diet should be warm. Choose foods such as kelp, jujube, sorghum rice, coix seed, mutton, apples, etc. Eat less cold and slippery foods such as pears, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, winter melon, kale, hemp seeds, etc.

2. Avoid eating spicy and sour foods. Women during menstruation feel particularly tired, their digestive function weakens, and their appetite is poor. Therefore, they should pay attention to eating light and easy-to-digest foods, and avoid eating overly acidic and irritating foods, such as hawthorn vegetables, sauerkraut, vinegar, chili, mustard, pepper, etc.

3. To prevent iron deficiency, eat a combination of meat and vegetables. Iron is an essential trace element for the human body. Iron is not only involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin and many important enzymes, but also plays an important role in immunity, intelligence, aging and energy metabolism. Since more iron is lost during menstruation, it is very important to supplement with iron-rich foods. Fish, lean meat, animal liver, animal blood, etc. are rich in iron and have great biological activity, and are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body; while the plant iron found in soybeans and spinach has a lower absorption rate. Therefore, during menstruation, you should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables in your diet, and eat more animal foods to meet the special needs for iron during menstruation.
