What to do if your period leaks

Women with heavy menstrual flow will still experience side leakage even after using sanitary napkins. They will be very annoyed by this situation and have no idea how to improve it. It is mainly related to their sleeping posture. At this time, they should sleep on their side, which will make side leakage less common.

1. Sexual intercourse can easily introduce bacteria, causing them to move retrograde and enter the uterine cavity, causing intrauterine infection.

2. It is not suitable to eat too salty food: Too salty food will increase the salt and water retention in the body. Before menstruation, it is easy to have symptoms such as headaches, emotional excitement and irritability.

3. It is not suitable to drink strong tea or coffee: these beverages contain high caffeine content, which can easily stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms such as menstrual pain, prolonged menstruation and excessive menstrual bleeding.

4. Avoid eating raw and cold vegetables and fruits and cold drinks: raw and cold food will slow down blood circulation, thereby affecting the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of menstrual blood, causing adverse discharge of menstrual blood and causing menstrual pain.

5. Avoid eating seafood: Most seafood is cold in nature, known as the "yang in yin". When you are physically weak, try to eat less or no seafood. After cold food enters the esophagus, the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract are contracted due to the cold, which weakens the gastrointestinal digestive ability and leads to diarrhea and other phenomena. Therefore, women should not eat seafood during menstruation.

6. It is not advisable to take sitting baths or tub baths: During menstruation, the cervix is ​​slightly open, and sitting baths and tub baths can easily allow sewage to enter the uterine cavity and cause inflammation.

7. It is not advisable to wear tight clothes: Tight pants with small hip circumference will put pressure on local micro-capillaries, thereby affecting blood circulation and causing congestion and edema in the genitals.

8. It is not advisable to sing loudly: During the menstrual period, the respiratory mucosa and vocal cords are congested. Singing or talking loudly can easily cause fatigue of the vocal cord muscles, leading to hoarseness.

9. Do not beat your back excessively: Although back pain and other symptoms are common during menstruation, you should not beat your back at will, as this will further cause congestion in the pelvic cavity, leading to excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation.

10. Avoid strenuous exercise such as high jump, long jump, running, and football, which may induce or aggravate general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. Some strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as weightlifting and dumbbells, should also be avoided as much as possible, otherwise they will cause excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation. In addition, since the cervix is ​​slightly open during menstruation, bacteria can easily invade the uterine cavity, increasing the chance of infection and causing various gynecological inflammations. Therefore, swimming is not suitable during menstruation. It is also not advisable to participate in competitions during menstruation, so as to avoid endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders due to excessive mental stress.
