Can I massage my neck and shoulders during menstruation?

Proper massage of the shoulders and neck during menstruation is also beneficial. This can play a certain role in relieving the pressure on the muscles in the cervical spine and has a good health care effect. Of course, you can also massage the stomach properly, which has a certain effect in relieving abdominal pain. During menstruation, moderate massage is good for health, but you must understand that you cannot beat your waist, because doing so can easily lead to pelvic congestion and easily aggravate the feeling of soreness.

1. Do not beat your waist : During menstruation, we will feel sore waist and swollen legs. At this time, we use beating the sore muscles to relieve the discomfort. Many women will habitually beat their waists to relieve the sore waist during this period. This seems to be able to slightly relieve the pain, but it is actually a wrong practice. Gynecologists point out that the soreness and swelling in the waist during menstruation is caused by pelvic congestion. At this time, beating the waist will cause more congestion in the pelvis, which will in turn aggravate the soreness and swelling. In addition, beating the waist during menstruation is not conducive to the repair and healing of the wound after the endometrium is exfoliated, leading to increased bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

2. You must not have sex during menstruation : because at this time the local resistance to bacteria is reduced, and having sex is likely to cause more invasion of external bacteria, and even move upward to affect the pelvic cavity, fallopian tubes, etc., causing gynecological diseases.

3. Do not drink coffee, strong tea, or alcohol during menstruation : Do not drink coffee, strong tea, or alcohol during menstruation, otherwise these stimulants will aggravate the discomfort during menstruation. The diet should also be light and avoid spicy food.

4. Do not eat raw or cold food during menstruation : Excessively raw or cold food will slow down blood circulation, thereby affecting the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of menstrual blood, causing adverse discharge of menstrual blood and causing menstrual pain.

5. Do not wear tight clothes during menstruation : Tight pants with small hip circumference will put pressure on local micro-capillaries, thereby affecting blood circulation and causing congestion and edema.

6. It is not suitable to have a physical examination during menstruation : In addition to gynecological examinations and urine tests, it is also not suitable to have blood tests, electrocardiograms and other examinations during menstruation. Because of the influence of hormone secretion at this time, it is difficult to obtain real data.
