Many friends will feel different degrees of discomfort during the menstrual period. This may be related to the failure to adjust the body in time before and after menstruation, or strenuous exercise, etc. Female friends must pay attention during the menstrual period. The following editor will introduce what taboos female friends need to pay attention to before menstruation in order to effectively prevent various menstrual discomforts.

1. Some people will experience swelling in the lower abdomen or lower limbs before menstruation. At this time, you can eat more red bean and coix seed soup, because red beans are rich in iron and have diuretic function, and coix seed has a diuretic effect. If you think it is too troublesome to make it yourself, you can buy ready-made one, or just eat eight-treasure porridge.

2. If you are prone to lower abdominal swelling, it is best to limit your salt intake.

3. Some women have an increased appetite before menstruation. This is usually caused by hormones. There is no need to restrain yourself too much. Taking some vitamin E can improve the situation slightly.

4. Supplementing B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc, can help relieve discomfort before and during menstruation.

5. In addition, it is best not to lose weight before menstruation, because deliberately suppressing appetite can easily cause low mood, anxiety and other emotions.

6. Suitable temperature: Pay attention to climate changes, especially avoid high temperature and sunlight, wind, cold and rain, wading, swimming, washing your hair and feet with cold water, or sitting on cold ground for a long time.

7. Keep good records: Carefully record the date of menstruation and calculate the date of next month's menstruation to facilitate early detection of menstrual disorders, pregnancy, etc.

8. Avoid sexual intercourse: During menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated and bleeds, there are fresh wounds in the uterine cavity, the cervix opens slightly, the acidity of the vagina decreases, and the ability to defend against bacteria is greatly reduced. If you have sex at this time, bacteria will be introduced and it may easily lead to inflammation of the reproductive organs. If the fallopian tubes become inflamed and blocked, it may also cause infertility. It can also cause prolonged menstruation or even continuous metrorrhagia. Therefore, women should refrain from sexual intercourse during menstruation to prevent infection.

During the menstrual period, women's immune system is particularly weak, and they are easily attacked by various bacteria and viruses, resulting in various gynecological diseases. Therefore, special attention should be paid to hygiene at this time, and strenuous activities should be avoided as much as possible. This will effectively prevent gynecological diseases and dysmenorrhea.
