Why can't you extract teeth during menstruation?

We all know that women need to pay attention to many things during menstruation. We must understand these common problems to prevent ourselves from being careless during the menstrual period and causing disasters. So, can I have my teeth pulled out during my period? What should you pay attention to during menstruation? Next, I will introduce it to you, and I hope you can remember it well.

Can I have my teeth extracted during my period?

Tooth extraction is not allowed during menstruation, because the female body during menstruation will produce an anti-coagulation system, and tooth extraction at this time will cause continuous bleeding. It is worth mentioning that the female body's resistance during menstruation is slightly lower than usual, and tooth extraction will also cause adverse conditions such as bacterial invasion.

Menstruation is a body system unique to women. During the menstrual period, not only will the body's resistance be reduced, but the blood will also be more difficult to coagulate than usual. This is an anti-coagulant mechanism caused by the body in order to better excrete the uterine wall, blood and other substances that have fallen out. If a tooth is extracted during the menstrual period, the blood at the extraction site will not be able to coagulate normally, and the bleeding will not stop.

This is because women's endocrine balance is affected to a certain extent during menstruation, and the body will also undergo some mutual changes. At this time, the elasticity of blood vessels increases, and the contraction ability of blood vessels decreases, making it easy to bleed after rupture.

In addition, women's platelet count will undergo great changes during the menstrual period, often decreasing on the first day of the period and returning to the original number on the third or fourth day. In addition, women's pain nerves are more sensitive during menstruation, and their body resistance is relatively weak. Therefore, patients who have tooth extractions during menstruation feel more sick and are more likely to get infected. Therefore, any traumatic examination and treatment of the human body must be avoided during the menstrual period as much as possible.

During menstruation, the uterine wall of the body can release more tissue activating substances, which can activate the free fatty acid lysozyme in the blood into free fatty acid lysozyme with anti-coagulant effect, thereby increasing the body's bleeding tendency. Therefore, tooth extraction (or surgical treatment) during menstruation may cause excessive bleeding, easily lead to wound infection, and be difficult to heal.

The best time for women to have their teeth extracted is 8-14 days after their menstrual period. This is the best time for women to treat dental diseases, with the 10th day after menstruation being the best. At this time, there is less bleeding, less pain, a low postoperative infection rate, and wound healing is fast. Women should choose this time to treat dental diseases.
