What are the taboos for women during menstruation?

Many female friends will suffer from the pain of abdominal pain during the menstrual period. We can use massage to help relieve the abdominal pain. We can also drink more hot water. Hot water can effectively accelerate the blood circulation in our body. Don’t blindly eat some irritating foods. Be familiar with the taboos of women’s menstruation.

1. Don’t do a pre-pregnancy check during menstruation

Pre-pregnancy check-up is very important. It can help parents who are preparing to have a baby to detect abnormalities before pregnancy, receive timely treatment and avoid potential problems. At the same time, adjust your physical and mental state to the best condition, plan your pregnancy to reduce birth defects and ensure that the expectant mother goes through pregnancy and delivery safely.

It is best to do a pre-pregnancy check-up 3 to 6 months before pregnancy, and avoid having sex 2 days before the check-up. It is usually best for women to do the test within 3 to 7 days after their menstruation ends, and avoid doing the test during menstruation. Because pre-pregnancy check-ups require B-ultrasound, urine tests, and blood draws, it is easy to get infected if you do the check-up during your menstrual period. Secondly, due to the influence of hormone secretions and the decrease in the number of platelets in the body, the test results will be inaccurate, making it difficult to obtain real data.

2. Do not have sex during menstruation

Some women experience an increase in hormones in the last one or two days of their menstrual period, their desire begins to increase, and the amount of menstrual blood also decreases significantly, so they think that having sex at this time is harmless. In fact, this is a wrong idea.

For the sake of good health and smooth birth of the baby, parents are advised to avoid having sex during menstruation. Because having sex at this time can easily bring bacteria into the vagina. In addition, bacteria can easily grow under the influence of menstrual blood, the endometrium is easily infected, and even the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity may be affected. In severe cases, the uterus contracts during intercourse, squeezing endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility. For men, women's menstrual secretions can also enter the male urethra during intercourse, which may cause urethritis.

The taboos of women's menstruation must be taken seriously by our female friends. Many people eat spicy food or food that is not good for them during menstruation, which leads to irregular menstruation. This may cause us to have symptoms of insufficient qi and blood, and cause dizziness and headaches.
