Discharge of the uterine lining during menstruation

Many people experience a discharge of their uterine lining during their menstrual period. This is a normal phenomenon and women don't need to worry too much if this problem occurs. However, during menstruation, women still need to do a series of conditioning work on their bodies, so as to better ensure their health and keep their various functions normal. Here are some tips on how to take care of yourself during your menstrual period!

1. Prevent external evil: Keep the vulva clean and avoid cold

During menstruation, Qi is lost along with blood. If Qi is deficient, the defense function will be insufficient, making one vulnerable to invasion by external evils such as wind, cold, dampness and heat, leading to menstrual colds, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, etc. Therefore, women must take measures to keep warm and avoid being exposed to the cold, getting caught in the rain, wading in water, or sitting or lying in wet places. At the same time, during menstruation, the blood chamber is open, and evil spirits can easily take advantage of the opportunity to enter and breed disease, so the vulva must be kept clean, and sexual intercourse, tub baths, vaginal douching and swimming are prohibited.

2. Regulate your emotions: Don’t get too excited

Many women will be particularly irritable and their moods will fluctuate during menstruation, but this is a taboo in menstrual care. "During menstruation, menstrual blood flows downward, blood deficiency and liver hyperactivity. If the emotions during menstruation are too intense, it is easy to cause qi and blood disorders, resulting in increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation or even metrorrhagia. Therefore, you should keep a happy mood and eliminate tension, boredom or depression."

3. Combine work and rest: avoid too much fatigue

Although menstruation is a special physiological period for women, normal work and study can still be carried out as usual, but women need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, otherwise it will cause irregular menstruation or prolonged menstruation. "Overwork consumes Qi, and over-rest causes Qi stagnation. Women's menstrual care should be a combination of work and rest.

4. Dietary moderation: Eat less bitter, cold and raw food

Women are reminded to pay special attention to the diet during menstrual care and avoid eating spicy, stimulating, bitter, cold and raw foods. "Spicy foods can easily lead to heat accumulation in the blood, forcing blood to flow abnormally, causing menorrhagia; while bitter, cold and raw foods can easily coagulate the meridians, causing blood to flow unsmoothly, and menstruation to be difficult or disordered. Women's diet during menstruation should be light and nutritious."
