A sudden visit from your period can turn light-colored pants or skirts red

Obviously, this is an unexpected situation caused by irregular menstruation, because the irregular arrival of menstruation often makes women unprepared and often encounter embarrassment. Menstrual irregularity is a general term, which includes early, late, irregular menstruation, excessive or insufficient menstruation, etc. It is a common disease among women.

reason

Traditional Chinese medicine generally believes that irregular menstruation is caused by problems with the liver, spleen, and kidneys, which can lead to iron deficiency anemia.

Countermeasures

Prevent cold

Be sure to avoid wading in the rain during menstruation, and avoid exposing your lower abdomen to cold at all times.

Eat more iron-rich and nutritious foods

Supplement enough iron to avoid iron deficiency anemia. Eat more nourishing foods such as black-bone chicken, lamb, fish roe, shrimp, prawns, pork and sheep kidneys, mussels, black beans, sea cucumbers, walnut kernels, etc.

Adjust your mindset

If your menstrual irregularities are caused by frustration or stress, then you must adjust your mindset. And if you already have irregular menstruation, it is very necessary to maintain a good attitude.

Try to keep your life regular

Staying up late, overwork and irregular lifestyle can all lead to irregular menstruation. Get your life into a regular routine and your periods may return to normal.

See a doctor if necessary

If bleeding continues without stopping after 24 hours and the amount of bleeding is heavy, or if your period is light or non-existent, you should see a doctor immediately.

When I talk to someone, I smell a bad breath that even I can't stand.

The so-called bad breath (also called "bad breath") is the unpleasant breath that comes from the mouth, which annoys others and embarrasses yourself. Don’t underestimate this minor problem of bad breath. It will make people (especially young people) afraid to interact with others at close range, thus causing inferiority complex, affecting normal interpersonal and emotional communication, and causing great distress.

reason

Oral Hygiene

People who don't brush their teeth, don't rinse their mouth, or brush their teeth carelessly. Food residues accumulate in the mouth for a long time and ferment and decompose under the action of bacteria, producing substances such as indole sulfhydryl and amines, which emit a rotten odor.

Oral Disease

The decayed matter in decayed teeth and periodontal disease cause the gums to be in a state of inflammation, abscess bleeding, ulceration and pus discharge, and are also prone to produce a foul odor of corruption.

Physical illness

Some bad breath is caused by diseases in other parts of the body, such as indigestion, purulent bronchitis, lung abscess, etc., which will discharge the odor through the respiratory tract and manifest as bad breath. In addition, diseases of adjacent organs, such as nasopharyngeal and nasal diseases, such as purulent maxillary sinusitis, atrophic rhinitis, etc., can also cause bad breath.

Special food cravings

Some people particularly like to eat garlic, onions, etc., which will leave an unpleasant smell in their mouth and stomach.

Insufficient saliva flow leading to dry mouth

Since saliva has the function of cleaning the mouth, if the saliva flow is insufficient, necrotic cells in the mouth will accumulate on the tongue, gums and cheeks, and decay and produce bad breath.

Poor denture hygiene

Some people who wear dentures do not pay attention to the cleaning of their dentures, which can cause odor in their mouths. This is the most common cause of bad breath. Bad breath can also occur if dentures are ill-fitting, unhygienic, or worn while sleeping.

In addition, smoking emits a nicotine smell, which can also affect the smell of the mouth.

Countermeasures

Find out the cause and treat it accordingly

As the saying goes, once the cause is known, there is a way to cure it. People with bad breath should first go to the hospital's stomatology department to check whether they have oral diseases. At the same time, they can ask an internist to do a comprehensive physical examination, focusing on ruling out certain systemic chronic diseases related to bad breath. Once the cause of bad breath is found, actively cooperate with the doctor to treat both the symptoms and the root cause, and the bad breath will definitely be eliminated.

Keep your oral cavity clean by brushing your teeth every morning and evening and rinsing your mouth after meals

This is the most effective basic method to improve bad breath. People with bad breath need to develop good oral hygiene habits, master the correct method of brushing teeth, promptly remove food residues and soft plaque retained on the tooth surface, tooth gaps, and buccal and labial grooves, control the growth and reproduction of oral bacteria, and bad breath will naturally be eliminated.

Regular teeth cleaning to eliminate bad breath

At present, dental hospitals or dental departments everywhere have generally opened dental cleaning clinics. The use of ultrasonic cleaning method to clean teeth has become a new fashion for people's healthy life and has gradually been accepted by many urban people. People with bad breath can benefit from cleaning their teeth to remove plaque, soft plaque and tartar, which is beneficial for improving bad breath and preventing periodontal disease. Generally, it is advisable to have your teeth cleaned every six months or so, depending on your own conditions.

Chinese medicine and food therapy to eliminate bad breath

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bad breath can occur in anyone who suffers from gastrointestinal indigestion, mental fatigue, or heat accumulation in the lungs and large intestine. The principle of treatment is to clear the heat from the lungs and stomach and moisten the dryness of the intestines.

Open your mouth to smile, but your yellow teeth are exposed from your cherry mouth

A modern beauty must have both a sweet and brilliant smile and a graceful figure. Therefore, today's urban women, in addition to focusing on whitening their faces, have also turned their attention to their teeth, trying every possible means to whiten their teeth and thoroughly "arm themselves to the teeth."

reason

Health factors

If the teeth are not properly nourished or have been ill during their development, their calcification will be affected, and the teeth will become yellow and brittle.

Water quality factors

In some areas, especially in some mountainous areas, due to the high fluoride content in the water, drinking too much fluoride will cause yellow teeth. And it is not just 1-2 teeth, but a whole mouth of yellow teeth. However, fluoride has an anti-caries effect, so these people are less likely to develop caries (cavities).

Drug factors

Now most people know that tetracycline drugs can cause yellow teeth, especially for children (before 5 years old).

Hygiene habits

Some people do not pay attention to oral hygiene and do not have the habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening, resulting in a layer of food residues, soft plaque, tartar, smoke stains, tea stains, etc. accumulated on the surface of their teeth. These "yellow teeth" are not caused by the teeth themselves turning yellow, but by not paying attention to oral hygiene.

Countermeasures

Use whitening toothpaste

Remove stains from the surface of your teeth to prevent yellowing; brush or rinse your mouth immediately after your teeth come into contact with stain-causing beverages or foods; use a straw to drink stain-causing beverages such as coffee, tea, cola and red wine; wear bright lipstick - blue or pink based, which will make your teeth appear whiter. Avoid orange or brown tones

Go to the hospital for teeth cleaning

The conventional method is ultrasonic teeth cleaning, which means letting the doctor brush your teeth for you.

Drug rinse method

It is mainly suitable for mildly pigmented teeth, enamel hypoplasia, and yellowing of teeth caused by changes in enamel due to age.

Photosensitive veneer

Veneer is a layer of material that is close to the normal tooth color pasted on the surface of stained teeth to cover the color of the teeth.

Porcelain

If you wish you could smile more brightly, try it.

When I was facing someone, I suddenly found dried eye mucus in the corner of my eye.

Although normal people also have "eye boogers", it is very embarrassing if there are hard eye boogers in the corners of your eyes when talking to others in public. In many cases, the other party will be embarrassed to remind you and pretend not to see it, but your good image has already been greatly reduced because of a small piece of eye booger.

reason

When normal people wake up in the morning or wash their faces, they will find a very small amount of secretions in the corners of their eyes. This is related to the reduced eyelid movement, reduced tear secretion, and slow discharge during sleep at night. The normal eye secretions of a person mainly come from the lacrimal glands, meibomian glands, mucus secreted by ocular surface cells, and desquamated ocular surface epithelial cells. Most of them are transparent or light white and are usually not easy to detect. Because the amount of secretions is small and can be discharged from the tear duct in time, it will not cause eye discomfort.

Countermeasures

Usually, if you use your eyes for a long time without rest, the secretion of the eyes will increase, and eye mucus will usually accumulate in the corners of the eyes after a few hours. Therefore, we should pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid excessive eye fatigue. Every once in a while, we can gently touch the corners of our eyes with our fingers to see if there is any accumulated eye mucus. If so, we can wipe it off with a tissue to maintain a good image.

If excessive eye mucus is secreted for a long time and contains pus, blood, water or stickiness, it may be an eye disease. You should go to the hospital for examination so that appropriate treatment measures can be taken.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that too much eye mucus is caused by heat in the liver meridian, stagnation of liver qi, and internal internal fire. Therefore, using appropriate Chinese medicine to regulate the body, paying attention to diet, and avoiding spicy and hot foods can all help reduce the production of eye mucus.

When you sweat, you will smell a foul odor, which seriously affects the people around you.

Body odor is a type of body odor that is strong and can easily make others feel uncomfortable. According to statistics, up to 80% of Europeans and Americans have body odor, while the rate among Asians is less, at around 10%. However, Westerners believe that this is a normal physiological phenomenon and do not take it seriously. Although body odor is less common in Oriental society, people are still afraid of it, which makes the people involved extremely embarrassed. Some women use perfume to try to cover up the smell of body odor, but the effect is often counterproductive because the smell of perfume and body odor mixed together will produce an odor that makes people more uncomfortable and dizzy.

reason

What is the cause of body odor? Generally speaking, there are two types of sweat glands. One is the exocrine gland, also known as the small sweat gland, which is distributed throughout the body and secretes 99% water and 0.5% salt. The other type is the apocrine gland, also known as the large sweat gland, which is located in the dermis of the skin. It opens at the root of the hair and is only distributed in the armpits, pubic area and eyebrows. It secretes a thicker liquid containing oil, protein and iron. The bacteria in the armpits then decompose the sweat and create a foul odor.

Countermeasures

Antiperspirant or deodorant

Antiperspirants are more effective than deodorants, as both help reduce odor. (Recommendation: Those who have shaved their armpit hair can use the spray type, and those who have not shaved their armpit hair can use the roller type)

Keep your body clean

Take a shower every day to keep your armpits clean, and wash any clothes that have come into contact with your armpits every day.

Shave your armpits

Armpit hair is prone to breeding bacteria. In the summer when it is easy to sweat, you can try shaving your armpit hair.

Eat less spicy or stimulating food

Such as pepper, garlic, onion, coffee, alcohol, etc., these foods will stimulate the sweat glands to increase secretion.

Traditional surgery

Performing surgery to remove the apocrine glands is the way to say goodbye to body odor once and for all. Currently, the most common surgical method is to make one or two incisions in the area where the armpit hair grows, remove the apocrine glands located in the subcutaneous tissue, and then suture the skin and stick it back to its original position. This method is generally effective, but the disadvantage is that the wound is difficult to care for and it will leave one or two scars under the armpit.

New surgical method

The electric rotary scraper used to remove cartilage in orthopedic arthroscopic surgery can be used to scrape the apocrine glands under the armpit, and then an endoscope can be used to check whether the scraping is thorough. The wound in this way is only about one centimeter, the operation time is shortened, and because of the small damage to the tissue, the wound recovers faster and there are fewer complications. This surgery uses local anesthesia and does not require hospitalization. The operation takes about an hour and a half, and you can go home immediately after the operation. However, your armpits must be wrapped in gauze after the operation and you must avoid excessive movement. It will take about 3 to 5 days to remove the gauze and replace it with a thinner gauze. The stitches will be removed about 10 days to two weeks after the operation.

When the temperature is high, sweat glands secrete more, and high temperature is suitable for the reproduction of bacteria, so the apocrine gland secretions decompose faster; the sweat secretion of the exocrine glands also increases, making it easier for odors to dissipate; in summer, clothes are thinner, making it even harder to hide odors; therefore, the problem of body odor is usually particularly serious in the summer. If you want to completely solve the problem of body odor, surgery seems to be the only solution besides keeping your body clean and shaving your armpit hair.
