Girls always shout that they want to be men in their next life. The most important reason is that giving birth is too painful, and the second is the menstruation that they have to experience every month. Women who suffer from dysmenorrhea suffer even more, and even getting out of bed is difficult during their period. But girls are naturally clean and they never forget to wash their bodies and hair. But I am always afraid to wash my hair because my parents told me that it would aggravate my dysmenorrhea. So will washing your hair during menstruation cause dysmenorrhea? What is the basis for not washing your hair during menstruation? Does modern medicine also support that you cannot wash your hair during menstruation? What should you do after washing your hair during menstruation? Women who love cleanliness but are afraid of pain have all kinds of problems. Menstruation is a normal physiological function of women. It can convert waste in the body into blood and discharge it through the narrow uterine opening. However, if there is a blood clot in the uterus that blocks the exit, the so-called dysmenorrhea occurs. In order to prevent dysmenorrhea or irregular menstruation, the older generation will tell you that it is strictly forbidden to wash your hair, drink cold drinks, eat more foods that promote metabolism, do not lift heavy objects, stay up late, or do strenuous exercise a week before your period, so as to prevent blood clots. In fact, there is no relevant conclusion in Western medicine regarding the claims that you cannot wash your hair during menstruation, or that washing your hair will cause "head wind". However, because the pelvic cavity is in a state of congestion when women are menstruating, the blood flow to other parts of the body will be relatively less, and naturally less blood will flow to the head; if the scalp is exposed to cold water at this time, the blood vessels on the scalp will contract, causing the blood to be further reduced and unsmooth, resulting in poor blood circulation. Therefore, special attention should be paid to keeping the body warm, avoid washing your hair and taking a bath with cold water, and dry your hair immediately with a hair dryer after washing to avoid catching a cold. From the above explanation, we can understand that the saying that you cannot wash your hair during menstruation has no scientific basis in modern medicine, but avoiding cold is good for girls during menstruation. Women who know this knowledge can wash their hair with hot water during menstruation without any worries as long as they dry it in time. Nor will I be skeptical about what the older generation says. |
