What are the symptoms of a girl's menstrual period?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. It is a process that every girl needs to go through. Generally speaking, women usually have greater emotional fluctuations during their menstrual period. In addition, their body's resistance is relatively weak during their menstrual period, and they are prone to illness. For adolescent girls, most girls are confused about their menstrual period. So what are the symptoms of girls' menstrual period?

What are the symptoms of a girl's menstrual period?

1. Increased leucorrhea

If you observe carefully, you will find that women's leucorrhea will increase significantly before menstruation. This is because the pelvic cavity is congested before menstruation, and the blood flow in the cervix and vagina increases, so the secretions of the cervix and vagina will also increase, and these secretions are the main components of leucorrhea.

2. Swelling

This situation often occurs within a week before menstruation. Some women usually have edema, but it becomes more serious before menstruation. Due to the appearance of edema, women will gain weight, and edema is also accompanied by headaches, runny nose, constipation, abdominal distension, etc.

3. Breast pain

Many women will experience breast pain before their period. At this time, women may feel small nodules when touching their breasts, which will cause pain when touched. However, these nodules and pain will disappear after their period comes, but they will reappear before the next period.

4. Other premenstrual discomfort symptoms

In addition to the above-mentioned premenstrual symptoms, women may also experience a feeling of pelvic heaviness, back pain, headache, irritability, anger, and inability to concentrate. Generally, the symptoms are mild and do not require treatment. They will disappear automatically after menstruation comes. However, some women experience severe symptoms before their period, which even affect their normal work and life. This is generally called premenstrual syndrome.

How should women take care of themselves during menstruation?

1. Do not use drugs indiscriminately

Generally, women experience slight discomfort during menstruation, which disappears on its own after menstruation and does not require medication to avoid interfering with the normal process. If you experience unbearable abdominal pain or excessive bleeding that does not stop for a long time, you need to be examined and treated by a doctor and do not take any medicine at will.

2. Suitable temperature

Pay attention to climate changes, especially avoid high temperatures and sunlight, wind, cold and rain; or wading and swimming, or washing your hair and feet with cold water, or sitting on cold ground for a long time, etc.

3. Regulate emotions

Abnormal emotions are one of the important pathogenic factors, and the impact of mental emotions on menstruation is particularly obvious. Therefore, during menstruation, you must keep your emotions stable, your mood happy, and avoid adverse stimulation to prevent irregular menstruation.

4. Eat in moderation

During the menstrual period, due to the dissipation of menstrual blood, more adequate nutrition is needed; the diet should be light and mild, easy to digest, and avoid eating too much raw and cold food, because cold causes blood to coagulate, which can easily cause dysmenorrhea, as well as scanty or sudden interruption of menstruation. Avoid overeating spicy, dry, and dry foods that damage body fluids to reduce uterine congestion. Drink more boiled water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep your bowel movements smooth.
