Can I have a massage during my period?

We should all be familiar with menstruation in our lives, which is what we usually call menstruation. It occurs especially to some girls around the time of puberty. It is a normal physiological reaction. There are many things that you should avoid when you have your period. You cannot eat cold, spicy food, or do too much exercise. Of course, you cannot go to a massage parlor for a massage when you have your period, because massage can help with blood circulation. If you massage during your period, the amount of blood that flows out will increase a lot, which is not good for your body.

Can I have a massage during my period?

Can I massage my waist during menstruation? Can I have a full body massage? During menstruation, you cannot massage, beat your waist, or have a full body massage, as this may cause excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

During menstruation, many women feel more tired than usual, and their whole body becomes sore and weak, so many people go for massage. In fact, it is best for women to avoid waist and foot massage during menstruation. The main function of foot massage is to ensure the circulation of qi and blood and dredge the meridians, thereby promoting the normal physiological functions of the human body. This action has the same effect as taking blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs, and may also further lead to an increase in women's menstrual volume.

In addition, many women will experience severe back pain during menstruation, and may choose to have others massage them or beat themselves to relieve the fatigue and soreness of the waist. Chen Zhiliao said that it is very normal for women to experience back pain during menstruation, which is caused by pelvic congestion. Blindly massaging or beating the waist vigorously at this time will cause the pelvic congestion to become more serious, which will aggravate the back pain.

In addition, massage at this time may cause subcutaneous bleeding and is not conducive to the repair of endometrial exfoliation. Inappropriate methods may even cause prolonged menstruation. The overall physical fatigue of women at this stage is likely caused by calcium deficiency. The correct approach should be for women to eat more high-calcium foods during menstruation to replenish the iron and calcium lost in the blood.
