WomenMenstruation is a troublesome problem. We have a menstrual period every month. What should we do about this problem? At this time, you should keep your inner mood optimistic, so let’s learn about the specific methods.

Women’s menstrual health care

During menstrual period, due to pelvic congestion, uterine blood descends, blood chambers open, resistance weakens, and mood swings are prone to occur. If care is not taken, it may lead to gynecological diseases, so menstrual hygiene should be paid attention to.

1. Moderate work and rest. Blood loss during menstruation can lead to loss of qi and blood, and the body is susceptible to fatigue. Therefore, it is not suitable to do work that exceeds physical strength or do strenuous exercise. You should ensure adequate sleep and maintain sufficient energy.

2. Adaptation to cold and temperature: During menstruation, the uterine qi and blood are empty, so you should keep warm and avoid catching cold, wading in rain or cold water, swimming, etc. to prevent menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, vaginal discharge and miscellaneous gynecological diseases.

3. Adjust your diet. During menstruation, it is not advisable to overeat spicy, fragrant, dry and damaging foods to avoid depleting yin blood or causing heat to force the blood to flow. However, it is also not advisable to overeat raw and cold foods to prevent cold stagnation of blood vessels and poor menstruation.

4. Feeling comfortable. During menstruation, due to excessive menstrual blood, insufficient yin blood, liver qi is easily depressed, emotions are easily out of control, or worry and anger can cause qi and blood to be disordered, leading to menstrual disorders and other symptoms. Therefore, you should keep your mood comfortable, maintain the normal operation of qi and blood, and avoid the occurrence of diseases.

5. Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. The blood chamber is open during menstruation, so sexual intercourse, tub bathing, and sitz bathing should be strictly prohibited to prevent the invasion of diseases. Keep the vulva and vagina clean and change underwear.

Five key points of menstrual health care

First of all, keep the vulva clean.

Scrub the vulva with warm water every night. It is not advisable to take a bath or sitz bath. It is better to take a shower. The sanitary napkins and paper should be soft, clean and breathable. Change underwear frequently to reduce the irritation of blood stains on the vulva and inner thighs. Wipe from front to back after defecation to prevent dirt from being brought into the vagina, causing vaginitis or even pelvic inflammatory disease.

Second, pay attention to regulating your emotions and balancing work and rest.

Excessive mood swings and tension can cause dysfunction between the central nervous system and the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, affecting the secretion of gonadotropin and causing irregular menstruation; at the same time, heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise should be avoided during menstruation. Overwork can cause excessive pelvic congestion, causing menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation, abdominal pain, backache, etc.

Third, eat a reasonable diet.

Drink more boiled water, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat a light diet, and avoid overeating spicy, raw and cold foods to reduce uterine congestion and keep bowel movements smooth.

Fourth, avoid sexual intercourse.

Endometrial peeling and bleeding during menstruation, there are wounds in the uterine cavity, vaginal pH changes, and the defense function decreases. If you have sex, bacteria can easily be introduced, causing genital inflammation.

Fifth, do not use drugs indiscriminately.

Generally, women experience slight abdominal pain and other discomfort during menstruation, which will disappear naturally after menstruation. If they experience unbearable abdominal pain or excessive bleeding, they need to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a regular hospital.
