What can't you do when you have your period?

Menstruation refers to the menstruation during a woman's normal physiological cycle, or it is called period. Women have their period once a month, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. During menstruation, women's bodies are in a state of bleeding and are relatively weak. Therefore, they should pay more attention to some things in life. Generally, women should not touch cold water or drink cold water during their menstrual period, and should keep warm.

What can't I do when I have my period?

1. It is not advisable to have a physical examination during menstruation

In addition to being unsuitable for gynecological examinations and urine tests, it is also unsuitable to do blood tests, electrocardiograms and other examinations during menstruation. Due to the influence of hormone secretion at this time, it is difficult to obtain real data.

2. It is not advisable to extract teeth during menstruation

I'm afraid that few dentists will ask you whether you are menstruating before extracting a tooth, but you must know that you cannot have a tooth extracted during your menstrual period! Otherwise, not only will the amount of bleeding increase during the extraction, but there will also be a bloody smell in your mouth for a long time after the extraction, which will affect your appetite and lead to malnutrition during menstruation. This is because during menstruation, the endometrium releases more tissue activating substances, which activate the plasminogen in the blood into plasmin with anticoagulant effect. At the same time, the number of platelets in the body also decreases, so the body's coagulation ability is reduced and the hemostasis time is prolonged.

When a woman has her period, the hormones in her body increase and her sexual desire increases. The strong hormones also stimulate the passion of men. However, since the cervix is ​​still in a slightly dilated state at this time, the endometrium has not been completely repaired, leaving wounds, making it easy for bacteria to invade. In addition, the endometrial fragments that migrate to other places due to the stimulation of sexual intercourse may pose the hidden danger of endometriosis.

4. Don’t sing loudly when you have your period

Women's vocal cords are affected by sex hormones in the body. During the menstrual period, in addition to the changes in women's reproductive organs such as the uterus and breasts under the influence of hormones, changes also occur in the vocal cords, mainly manifested in congestion and edema of the capillaries in the vocal cords, and the vocal cords become brittle.

If you shout loudly without control and overuse your voice, the capillaries in your vocal cords, which are already prone to bleeding, will rupture and bleed, causing hoarseness or even loss of voice. If this continues for a long time, it will cause vocal cord strain, injury and thickening.

During menstruation, the body's alcohol-degrading enzymes (such as alcohol dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, etc.) decrease. 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. Moreover, alcohol can promote menstruation and promote blood circulation. Drinking during menstruation can easily lead to excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation, which is not good for health.

6. It is not advisable to eat too much salt during menstruation

Excessive salt intake can not only cause edema, high blood pressure and other diseases, but also easily lead to extreme premenstrual tension. If you eat a lot of salty food before menstruation, the body will store too much salt and water. On the eve of menstruation, you will experience symptoms such as headaches, local swelling, restlessness, excitement and irritability, which will cause troubles during your menstrual period.
