Things to note when you have your period at the age of eleven

In today's world where people have enough food and clothing and are well-nourished, it is not uncommon for 11-year-old children to have their periods, so parents don't need to worry too much. But an eleven-year-old girl is at an age of ignorance and innocence, and knows very little about the common problems after a girl's menarche. Avoiding cold and spicy foods is only the most basic part. Let's talk about the precautions during the menstrual period.

1. Environmental hygiene: Because the body's immunity will decrease during menstruation, it is very important to ensure environmental hygiene during menstruation. Minimize sitz baths and take showers instead. Don't go swimming in public swimming pools. Wash your underwear frequently and dry and iron them before wearing them. Sanitary napkins used during menstruation must ensure quality and prevent infection.

2. Diet: Children have weak self-control, so attention should be paid to their diet. During menstruation, do not drink cold water, ice drinks, or carbonated drinks. Increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, and eat more protein-rich foods such as chicken, pork, beef, mutton, eggs, and milk. You can eat some chocolate and brown sugar ginger water in moderation. Of course, don't drink brown sugar water when the menstrual flow is heavy. Eat less spicy food and irritating food such as onion and garlic.

3. Exercise: Most people have a wrong perception that they should avoid exercising as much as possible during menstruation. In fact, moderate exercise is beneficial to blood circulation and prevents soreness of waist and legs and pain in the lower abdomen. However, you should not engage in strenuous physical competitions or physical work, and you should maintain adequate sleep.

4. Psychological level: maintain a happy mood, adjust your mentality, understand that it is normal to be irritable, angry, weak and tired during menstruation, and don't worry too much. You can appropriately participate in outdoor activities or relax to relieve stress.

5. Record-keeping: Develop a good habit of recording the start and end of your period, and also pay attention to the length of your period and whether there are any uncomfortable symptoms. It is convenient to know whether there is any abnormality in your menstrual period, and you can also seek medical treatment immediately.

Therefore, there is actually no difference between having your period at the age of eleven and having your period again. As long as you pay attention to private hygiene, eat a healthy diet, manage your time properly, and develop a good habit of recording your menstrual period, you can successfully get through your menstrual period. Of course, having a good attitude is also very important. In addition, parents should pay more attention to the physiological condition of their children, ensure that their children have regular menstruation and everything is normal, and have a happy adolescence.
