1. Is the menstrual blood test accurate?

It is not recommended to test during menstruation as it is very easy to get infected! The menstrual period is a natural safe period and a physiological phenomenon unique to women. During the menstrual period, some changes will occur in various parts of the body. The most prominent changes are: the excitability of the cerebral cortex decreases, and the body's resistance is worse than usual; the endometrium in the genitals sheds and bleeds, the cervix opens, and the alkaline menstrual blood neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina, reducing the acidity of the vagina and weakening the natural barrier function. If the test is done during menstruation, adverse consequences such as gynecological inflammation may occur.

2. Do not have sex during menstruation

Some women experience an increase in hormones in the last one or two days of their menstrual period, their desire begins to increase, and the amount of menstrual blood also decreases significantly, so they think that having sex at this time is harmless. In fact, this is a wrong idea.

For the sake of good health and smooth birth of the baby, parents are advised to avoid having sex during menstruation. Because having sex at this time can easily bring bacteria into the vagina. In addition, bacteria can easily grow under the influence of menstrual blood, the endometrium is easily infected, and even the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity may be affected. In severe cases, the uterus contracts during intercourse, squeezing endometrial fragments into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis and leading to infertility. For men, women's menstrual secretions can also enter the male urethra during intercourse, which may cause urethritis.

3. Maintain a normal life routine during menstruation

First of all, we should be cheerful and optimistic, and avoid worry, sadness, pain and unnecessary mental burden. A small number of people have unstable emotions during menstruation, become easily excited, upset, and lose their temper. They should be careful to restrain themselves. Secondly, you should get enough rest and sleep time, pay attention to increasing your nutritious diet, avoid eating raw, cold, sour, spicy and other highly irritating foods, and avoid smoking and drinking. Drink more boiled water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and keep your bowels and bladder open. If you encounter irregular menstruation, you should seek medical attention and receive symptomatic treatment in a timely manner. Do not take medicine or get injections at will, so as not to delay diagnosis and increase the difficulty of future treatment. Director He reminds: When problems are discovered, actively cooperate with doctors to achieve satisfactory results.
