What does a girl's menstrual period mean?

Female menstruation refers to the physiological period. Generally speaking, female menstruation refers to the menstrual period that fully grown and developed women have every month, which is the physiological period. Normal women of childbearing age have a menstrual period once a month. From the beginning of menarche to the first day of menarche of the next menarche, it is called a physiological cycle. From the perspective of contraception, each menstrual cycle of a woman can be divided into menstrual period, ovulation period and safe menstrual period.

The first day of each bleeding is called the beginning of the menstrual cycle, and the time interval between the first days of two menstruations is called a menstrual cycle. The normal menstrual cycle is 28 to 30 days, and 7 days earlier or later is considered normal.

What should girls avoid during their menstrual period?

1. Drinking

During menstruation, it is better to avoid alcohol, because ethanol has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which will increase your menstrual period.

2. Stimulating ingredients

If you are a person who particularly likes spicy food, you must control yourself during menstruation. Because spicy food ingredients, such as chili peppers or garlic, will cause congestion in the female pelvis, and the uterus will contract faster as a result.

3. Sexual life

It is still necessary to avoid sexual intercourse during the menstrual period. Apart from the daily hygiene point, another reason is that it will cause the blood that was originally discharged to flow back into the uterus, which may cause some symptoms.

4. Too much freshly ground coffee

Too much coffee can stimulate our nerves and cardiovascular system, causing bouts of menstrual pain. You may not feel it when you drink it, but after a while, the pain will come to you.

5. Use the same sanitary napkin for a long time
