Menstruation is something that every female friend experiences every month. But this matter is very troublesome for female friends. Because there are many precautions during menstruation. If not taken seriously, it can also lead to abnormal menstruation and have an impact on the body. So, can I massage and wash my feet during menstruation?
Generally speaking, soaking feet during menstruation can help alleviate symptoms for some women with dysmenorrhea, but massage during menstruation is not recommended. Everyone should know that the main function of foot massage is to help eliminate obstacles to the circulation of qi and blood in the body, relax the meridians and unblock the meridians. If foot massage is chosen during menstruation, it may lead to an increase in menstrual flow and cause harm to the body. Therefore, soaking feet in hot water during menstruation is sufficient.
Also, during menstruation, I don't mind taking baths or sitz baths. Because at this time, both the cervix and cervix are in a semi open state. The shed endometrial tissue, blood clots, cells, and even epithelial cells will be expelled from the body through the cervical and vaginal openings. This means that there are still a large number of bacteria in menstrual blood, which can easily cause infections.
Moreover, during menstruation, taking baths or sitz baths, bacteria in or outside the water can easily pass through the open cervix and vaginal opening, causing infections, and in severe cases, even leading to pelvic inflammatory disease. During menstruation, it is advisable to eat some sweet foods to help with the metabolism of polluted blood. It is important to rest thoroughly and avoid being too emotional.
