Can women dive during menstruation?

It is normal for women to have menstruation. From a health perspective, it is important to pay attention to multi-faceted care at this time. However, some women do not pay enough attention to menstruation due to work, habits and other factors, and they may engage in strenuous exercise and swimming during menstruation. However, these unfavorable habits will endanger women's health. I hope more women will pay attention to this. So, can women go diving during menstruation? You cannot go diving before your menstruation is over, as this can easily cause vaginal infection.

Nowadays, women do anything without any taboos even during menstruation, but they don’t know that these things are endangering the health of women during menstruation.

1. Sexual intercourse is not suitable. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed and wounds are formed on the surface of the uterine cavity. During sexual intercourse, it is easy for bacteria to be brought into the uterus and then go up into the uterus, causing intrauterine infection, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Do not eat too much salt. Eating too much salt will increase the salt and water storage in the body. Headache, excitement, irritability and other symptoms will occur on the eve of menstruation. You should start eating low-salt food 10 days before the menstruation.

3. Don't drink strong tea, as the caffeine content in strong tea is high and it can stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system and easily cause pregnancy.

4. It is not advisable to sit in a bath. During the menstrual period, sitting in a bath or taking a bath in a tub with the cervix slightly open can easily allow sewage to enter the uterine cavity and cause inflammation of the reproductive organs.

5. It is not advisable to wear tight pants. If you wear tight pants with a small hip circumference during menstruation, the local capillaries will be compressed, thereby affecting blood circulation and increasing perineal friction, which can easily cause perineal congestion and edema.

6. It is not advisable to sing loudly. During menstruation, women's respiratory mucosa is congested and the vocal cords are also congested. Singing loudly or talking loudly will easily fatigue the vocal cord muscles, which will cause glottal disharmony and hoarseness. However, there is no need to be too nervous. In most cases, singing K or talking with a normal voice should not be a problem. However, if you sing high notes for a long time or challenge high-range songs, it may cause vocal cord injury.

7. It is not advisable to beat the back. Beating can cause further congestion in the pelvis and accelerated blood flow, leading to excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation. In addition, many women will experience severe back pain during menstruation. They may choose to have others massage them or beat themselves to relieve waist fatigue and soreness. 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.

8. Avoid using shower gel to clean the genitals. Consequences: Cause genital infection and itching. The genitals are prone to odor during menstruation, especially in summer. However, it is not healthy to use shower gel to clean the genitals or to wash the genitals repeatedly with hot water while taking a bath. Instead, it is easy to cause genital infection and itching. Because the female vagina is a slightly acidic environment on weekdays, it can inhibit bacterial growth, but during menstruation, the vagina will be alkaline, and the resistance to bacteria will be reduced, making it easy to be infected. If you do not use professional vaginal cleaning fluid or wash it repeatedly with hot water, it will lead to an increase in alkalinity. Therefore, you need to choose professional vaginal cleaning fluid to clean the genitals, especially during menstruation!

9. Don't extract teeth. Consequences: It is easy to cause heavy bleeding and infection. Don't extract teeth during menstruation, because during menstruation, the number of platelets in women's bodies decreases, and the blood coagulability is lower than usual. If traumatic surgery, including tooth extraction, is performed at this time, it may be difficult to stop the bleeding, resulting in more bleeding and longer bleeding time than usual surgery. Research has found that women's pain nerves are more sensitive than usual during menstruation, and their overall resistance is weaker, so tooth extraction during menstruation will double the pain and increase the infection rate significantly. If you have a tooth extracted during menstruation, you will have to face the bloody smell in your mouth for a long time after the extraction, which will affect your appetite. Therefore, it is recommended that women avoid tooth extraction during menstruation.

10. Avoid eating fried foods. Consequences: easy to get pimples and acne. Fried foods are also a big taboo for women during menstruation because the progesterone in the receptor endocrine affects the sebum secretion of women during menstruation, the skin becomes oily, and the capillaries dilate and the skin becomes sensitive. Eating fried foods at this time will increase the burden on the skin and make pimples, acne, folliculitis and dark circles more likely to occur. In addition, the metabolism of fat and water slows down during menstruation, and eating fried foods at this time will also make fat easily accumulate in the body.

11. Do not use blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs. Consequences: It will increase menstrual blood flow and cause anemia. Generally speaking, blood-enriching health products and blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs should be discontinued during the menstrual period, but many women do not understand this and find that their menstrual flow suddenly increases. In severe cases, it may even cause severe anemia or heavy bleeding during menstruation. Using blood-replenishing and blood-activating drugs during menstruation will, on the one hand, increase the flow of menstrual blood, thereby causing unnecessary excessive menstrual bleeding. On the other hand, menstrual bleeding may also affect the efficacy of the drugs.

12. Don’t drink alcohol. Consequences: You will get drunk easily and cause liver problems. Some studies have shown that women’s hormone levels fluctuate greatly during menstruation, so they are more likely to get drunk at this time than usual, and the burden of alcohol on the liver will be further increased. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends drink as little alcohol as possible during menstruation.

Can women dive during menstruation? The answer is yes. Diving will make the whole body wet, and the discharge will infect the clothes. The bacteria in the water will smoothly enter the vagina, which has the chance to infect the cervix, etc., which is also bad for the uterus. Therefore, diving is taboo. If the patient likes diving, she should avoid the menstrual period. She should not swim during menstruation. All things that may endanger health and cause gynecological diseases should be avoided, otherwise more serious physical damage will occur.
