What to do if you have scraping during menstruation

The menstrual period is a time when women's physical fitness is poor and their resistance is relatively weak. During this period, women should not only pay attention to protecting their physical health, maintain a normal life routine, avoid catching cold, but also avoid strenuous exercise or overwork themselves. In addition, some things that may irritate the body should not be done, such as scraping, which should not be done during menstruation. So, what are the effects of scraping during menstruation?

You cannot do scraping during menstruation because scraping is a venting method in Traditional Chinese Medicine that has the effect of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is also bad for menstruation, causing excessive menstrual flow, and women's resistance is relatively weak during menstruation. Gua Sha is a method of stimulating blood circulation in the skin through external force, stimulating the corresponding reflex areas on the body surface to relieve the symptoms of some diseases. During menstruation, women's abdomen and waist should not be stimulated too much, otherwise it may cause delayed menstruation and heavy menstruation. During the menstrual period, women should not have their abdomen, lumbar region or other parts of their body scraped, as this will cause heavy menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period.

During menstruation, women's bodies are in a state of low resistance and are prone to feeling uncomfortable. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping warm to prevent other diseases. You should get enough rest in your daily life, and some irritating treatments such as scraping, cupping, moxibustion, and foot massage should be avoided.

1. Maintain a normal life routine

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. Discover problems and actively cooperate with doctors to achieve satisfactory results.

2. Avoid getting wet and cold

During menstruation, you should keep warm and avoid getting wet or cold. During the menstrual period, you often experience discomfort such as back pain, lower abdominal distension, and general weakness. Your body's resistance decreases and you are prone to some diseases. You should be careful to avoid getting wet or cold, such as rain, wade in water, cold showers, swimming, and working outdoors for a long time on cold days. Excessive cold stimulation can cause menstrual disorders. Frequent exposure to damp and cold environments can cause excessive menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstruation, or induce other diseases.

During menstruation, you can study and work as usual, and also participate in appropriate physical exercise. You can do some light physical labor, walking and other appropriate activities, but avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, do not overwork, avoid increasing abdominal pressure and vibrating the pelvis to reduce bleeding.
