I dare not wash my hair during menstruation and I have dandruff all over my head

Women's menstrual period is a special physiological period for women. The body's resistance is very weak during the menstrual period. Many women often do not wash their hair at this time for fear of catching a cold. In addition, moisture is likely to invade most easily at this time. In fact, women can wash their hair during menstruation, but after washing, it is best to blow dry the hair, especially for people with a lot of dandruff. Washing hair is also a way to maintain hygiene.

What not to do during menstruation

1. Do not beat your back during menstruation

Many women often feel back pain before and after their menstrual period. They often beat their backs with their hands, which temporarily relieves the pain, but doing so may cause greater trouble.

2. Don’t sing loudly during menstruation

Have you noticed that during menstruation, your voice will not be as mellow and pleasant as usual, and your throat will easily become tired. This is due to changes in the endocrine system during menstruation.

3. Do not rashly extract teeth during menstruation

In order to have the diseased tooth removed as quickly as possible, some women hide the fact that they have their menstruation from their doctors or ignore the doctor's advice and insist on having the tooth removed during their menstruation. Doing so will often result in excessive bleeding after tooth extraction, which can easily lead to infection and cause unnecessary trouble and pain.

4. Do not eat too much salt during menstruation

Some women usually have the habit of eating salty food, but eating more salty food (food with high salt content) before menstruation is not good for menstrual health. Salt, scientifically known as sodium chloride, decomposes into chloride ions and sodium ions in the body. Sodium ions have a water-retaining effect, so excessive salt intake can not only cause edema, high blood pressure and other diseases, but also easily lead to extreme premenstrual tension.

5. Do not drink alcohol during menstruation

In modern life, when entertaining guests, wine is often indispensable. But it is better not to drink alcohol during menstruation. Medical research shows that during menstruation, women's alcohol-degrading enzymes (such as alcohol dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, etc.) decrease in their bodies. Drinking at this time is not only easy to get drunk, but also causes more serious damage to the liver than usual, increasing the possibility of causing liver dysfunction. At the same time, alcohol has the effect of promoting menstruation and activating blood circulation. Drinking during menstruation can easily lead to excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation, which is not good for health.

6. Don’t drink too much tea during menstruation

Drinking tea is good for your health. Many women have the habit of drinking tea, but when you are menstruating, it is better to drink less or no tea.

Tea contains a certain amount of tannic acid, which can combine with the iron in food and blood, thus directly blocking the gastrointestinal absorption of iron and hindering the normal utilization of iron in the blood.
