How to make menstrual blood discharge smoothly?

Keep warm

When women have their periods, their blood circulation slows down, their body temperature drops, and their immunity is not as strong as at other times. Therefore, they need to keep warm, especially their waist, abdomen, and lower limbs. If you feel cold, wear more clothes and apply a hot water bottle to your lower abdomen. Keep your body temperature at a normal level and maintain normal metabolism so that the menstrual blood can be discharged smoothly.

Do some gentle yoga

Although it is better to rest during menstruation, reasonable exercise can help the body to have smooth blood circulation. You can take a moderate walk so that your body does not feel tired, or do some gentle yoga and stretching exercises. Be careful not to use too much intensity or for too long. Do not do abdominal strength exercises, such as handstands.

You can place a firm pillow and blanket under your waist to elevate your upper body. Sit on the yoga mat, touch the soles of your feet together and apply pressure to each other, and pull them closer to the groin, making sure one end of your buttocks touches the pillow. Relax your body and slowly lie down, allowing the pillow to comfortably support your entire back and head. Hold for 1-3 minutes. This can soften the hips and abdominal muscles, massage the abdominal viscera, promote blood circulation in the ovaries and uterus, and relieve dysmenorrhea.

Do not eat foods that affect blood circulation

Eat less salt and sugar: Menstrual blood is made up of food eaten. If you consume too much salt and sugar during your period, the blood will become thicker, making it difficult to flow out. Pay attention to improving your diet and eating less salt and sugar one week before your period.

Do not eat raw or cold food: Eating too much frozen and cold food will continuously damage the body's Yang Qi, and eventually Yang deficiency and coldness will occur. The cold evil will remain in the uterus, which will increase the incidence of uterine cold, which is not only not conducive to the smooth discharge of menstrual blood, but also can cause dysmenorrhea and even amenorrhea.

Eat less greasy food: A moderate intake of fat is beneficial to regular menstruation and smooth detoxification of menstrual blood. However, eating too much greasy food, especially foods containing unsaturated fatty acids, will increase cholesterol, make the blood thicker, and hinder the normal discharge of menstrual blood.

Supplement the necessary nutrients

Many women will experience symptoms such as emotional tension, irritability, fatigue, and back and abdominal pain before menstruation. This is mainly caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body. At this time, you should choose to eat foods that can replenish qi and soothe the liver, such as chicken, red dates, tofu beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, etc.

Pay attention to nutritional supplements, diversify your diet as much as possible, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and consume a moderate amount of high-protein and iron-rich foods to replenish the nutrients lost in menstrual blood, prevent physical fatigue, pale complexion and other symptoms, and it is also beneficial to stabilize emotions.

Good living habits

Pay attention to emotional regulation: emotional fluctuations, tension, irritability, anxiety, etc., will cause dysfunction between the central nervous system and the hypothalamus-pituitary gland, which will lead to irregular menstruation. You must maintain a good mood to discharge menstrual blood.

Don’t wash your hair: During menstruation, be careful not to eat cold food. It is not advisable to wash your hair 3 days before menstruation to avoid the invasion of cold air and catching a cold, which will lead to headaches, blood clots, and unclean menstruation.

Do not take painkillers casually: If you have unbearable abdominal pain or excessive bleeding during menstruation, or if your menstrual blood is dark in color, you need to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a regular hospital for treatment. Do not take medicine at will.

Pay attention to rest: avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise, otherwise it will cause excessive congestion of the pelvis, causing menorrhagia, abdominal pain, back pain, etc. Maintain reasonable rest, do not stay up late, and maintain 8 hours of sleep a day.
