Can I sweat steam during my menstrual period?

Menstruation is a woman's normal menstrual cycle. If the menstruation is normal, the cycle time is 28 days and the menstrual volume is between 30-120ml. However, due to various reasons, many women have irregular menstruation, either heavy menstrual flow, light menstrual flow, delayed menstruation, etc. Light menstrual flow is also a common situation, which causes great harm to women and must be treated in time. Can you take a sauna if you have light menstrual flow?

Can I take a sauna if my menstrual flow is light?

When the menstrual cycle is basically normal, but the menstrual flow is significantly reduced, or even just a drop, or the menstrual period is shortened to less than two days and the menstrual flow is also light, it is called "oligomenorrhea". It is a menstrual disease. Oligomenorrhea is often accompanied by late menstruation and weight gain. This disease occurs in puberty and childbearing age and may develop into amenorrhea, while it occurs in menopause and often enters menopause.

There are many reasons for scanty menstruation, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in mental environment, and it may also be due to the uterine wall itself, such as uterine wall tuberculosis causing endometrial degeneration or abortion, curettage causing thin endometrium, etc. Long-term scanty menstruation may lead to amenorrhea or infertility. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a physical examination in time, and actively take medication after determining the cause of the disease. Don't take medication blindly to avoid affecting your health.

The menstrual period is a special physiological stage. The body's resistance is weak, so it is best not to take a sauna. Some symptoms and adverse side effects may occur. The energy released in the sauna can speed up blood circulation, which can increase the amount of menstruation or prolong the menstrual period.

Because there are many reasons for scanty menstrual flow, medical treatment for scanty menstrual flow should be symptomatic. Some patients can be treated with steam sauna, while some patients are not suitable for this method. Only by finding the cause of the disease can reasonable treatment be guaranteed. Do not blindly follow the trend of treatment, otherwise it will affect the treatment effect.

Reasons for scanty and dark menstruation

Too little menstruation is mostly due to the inadequate function of the pituitary gland, which leads to insufficient secretion of estrogen in the uterus and ovaries, resulting in insufficient proliferation of the endometrium. Uterine wall hypoplasia, uterine wall tuberculosis and rough curettage that damages the uterine wall can also cause short menstrual periods and too little menstruation. In addition, it is also related to factors such as stress, anxiety, drugs, and anemia. Dark menstrual color is mostly related to the retroverted uterus affecting the discharge of menstruation. Dark menstrual color is mostly caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and menstruation is deposited in the uterine cavity for a long time. Secondly, chronic endometritis can also cause this symptom.

1. The scanty menstrual flow is mainly related to sexual excitement or changes in the natural environment and cannot be simply considered as the cause of the disease. Menstruation is the manifestation of regular shedding and bleeding of the uterine wall. The regular changes in the uterine wall are caused by the regular changes in the ovaries. The menstrual cycle is regulated by a complex neuroendocrine system, which involves the cooperation of the central nervous system, pituitary gland, ovaries and uterus. If there is a problem in any stage, it will affect the menstrual period. For example, mental anxiety, environmental changes, diet and medication can all cause changes in the menstrual cycle and menstrual volume.

2. If the ovaries fail, the menstrual volume will also decrease; diseases of the uterine wall, such as endometrial tuberculosis, uterine adhesions after abortion, and frequent abortions, will damage the uterine wall, softening and reducing the functional layer of the uterine wall, directly causing a decrease in menstrual volume. In addition, long-term use of emergency contraception will also cause a decrease in menstrual volume. Experts point out that if the menstrual flow continues to be too small, it may be a manifestation of damage to the female uterine wall. A more immediate manifestation is a decrease in menstrual flow after damage to the uterine wall.
