What are the dangers of singing during menstruation?

Young people nowadays like singing very much, and many even hope to make singing their future career, so they usually practice singing very hard. But here I would like to remind all women that, as we all know, women have many precautions to take when they are menstruating, such as not touching cold water, not eating spicy and irritating food, etc. Also, it is best not to sing hard during the menstrual period, otherwise it may cause some harm.

The dangers of singing during menstruation:

Can I sing during my menstrual period? Experts say that women should not sing during menstruation. The specific reasons are as follows:

During menstruation, due to changes in sex hormone levels in women, the vocal cord capillaries become congested and show mild edema, and the blood vessel walls are also more fragile than usual. In severe cases, the entire vocal cord may become thickened, loose, and congested. At this time, if you sing too much, talk loudly, or exercise your pharynx too much, your vocal cords will become over-tired, your capillaries will rupture, causing vocal cord bleeding and hoarseness. If excessive damage is caused, it will be difficult to repair. Therefore, female friends who love singing should avoid "showing off their singing voice" at this time.

In addition, some young girls' pronunciation is better during menstruation than usual. This is because these women's vocal cords often have defects, such as loose closure of the vocal cords. The congestion and edema during menstruation actually make up for the original defects, making the voice appear better than usual. However, this abnormal phenomenon is short-lived. If you overuse your voice without paying attention, it will cause damage to your vocal cords.

Therefore, to protect the voice, young girls should not overuse their voice during menstruation, especially on the eve of menstruation and the first two days, should not sing for too long, and should never force themselves to sing high notes.

How to protect your voice when singing during menstruation

When singing during menstruation, do not overuse your voice. It is best to sing with a normal voice. Do not use your voice for too long and do not challenge yourself with high-pitched songs to avoid injuring your vocal cords. After singing a song, it is best to rest for about 20 minutes, drink some warm water to relieve throat fatigue, eat something light, and avoid drinking alcohol or cold drinks.

Generally speaking, the singing voice during menstruation will be hoarser than usual and not as clear and pleasant. However, there are some young people whose pronunciation is better during menstruation than usual. Why is that? Such special circumstances are actually an illusion. Everyone's vocal cords often have defects, such as not closing tightly. The congestion and edema during menstruation actually make up for the original defects, making the voice appear better than usual. However, this abnormal phenomenon is short-lived. If you overuse your voice without paying attention, it will still cause damage to your vocal cords.
