7 ways to avoid negative emotions during menstruation

1. Diet

Sugar provides the brain with the energy necessary to keep impulses under control, thereby preventing us from losing our temper due to stress, and it can reduce people's aggressiveness and argumentativeness. The researchers said: "For example, when you encounter provocation, when you may encounter a difficult boss in a work meeting, drinking a sugary drink in advance may effectively increase our ability to inhibit impulses." Friends who are prone to short temper during menstruation are suitable for drinking a cup of brown sugar water.

2. Transfer method

Transfer is the most aggressive approach. When you are angry, you tend to get angrier and angrier towards people and things you don't like. At this time, you might as well try to leave the situation that makes you angry as soon as possible. You can choose to do something happy, or go back and have a good sleep.

How to take care of women during menstruation

1. During menstruation, you must supplement a lot of potassium and iron

Because potassium has a good effect in relieving pain during menstruation, and during menstruation, potassium can effectively reduce excessive blood loss. Therefore, during menstruation, you should supplement iron and potassium in appropriate amounts. Common foods include meat, various animal offal and eggs.

2. Control the amount of exercise

Although it is not necessarily forbidden to exercise during menstruation, it is best not to engage in some high-intensity sports that require a lot of exercise. Because excessive exercise can easily lead to increased blood loss during menstruation and cause the normal position of the uterus to shift.

3. Avoid excessive cold or heat stimulation during menstruation

It is best not to take a cold shower or sauna during menstruation, especially to avoid getting the lower abdomen cold. In addition, during menstruation, you should not swim or get caught in the rain, or stay in a humid or cool environment for a long time. White-collar women should not stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time.

4. Do not beat your back during menstruation

This is mainly because if the waist and back are hit, it will cause congestion in the pelvic cavity and the blood flow rate will also increase, so the amount of blood loss during menstruation will increase, and the menstrual period will also increase. Beating the back will not only fail to relieve back pain, but may even make it worse.

5. Don’t wear tight pants

In addition to not wearing tight pants during menstruation, you should also avoid wearing tight underwear, because these clothes will cause blood flow problems in the body, leading to abnormal menstruation. In addition, tight clothes can easily increase the pressure in the pelvic and abdominal cavity during the process of putting on and taking off, which can easily lead to menstrual blood reflux.

6. Don’t do an X-ray before your period

The few days before menstruation for pregnant women are the ovulation stage, so if an X-ray examination is performed at this time, it is likely to cause damage to the egg cells. If a woman becomes pregnant at this time, the fetus is prone to developmental malnutrition, and the probability of mental retardation or limb defects will be greatly increased.
