We all say that women are a group that needs care, not only because they are slightly more delicate compared to men, but also because women go through a menstrual cycle every month, also known as menstruation. During menstruation, female friends especially need care. So, what should female friends pay attention to during this period?
What should be paid attention to during menstruation
1. Clean and hygienic
During menstruation, women may produce a lot of secretions, and if hygiene is not taken care of, it can easily lead to genital infections. Therefore, it is important to keep the external genitalia clean during menstruation. Sanitary napkins and paper should be soft and clean. Menstrual bands and underwear should be changed frequently, washed frequently, and wiped from front to back after defecation to prevent dirt from entering the vagina and causing vaginitis or uterine inflammation.
2. Adequate sleep and exercise
Moderate exercise during menstruation can promote blood circulation in the pelvic cavity for female friends. However, it is important to avoid vigorous exercise as overwork can cause excessive congestion in the pelvic cavity, leading to excessive menstruation, prolonged periods, and abdominal and lower back pain. In addition to appropriate exercise, sufficient sleep is also essential.
3. Diet
Because female friends lose both blood and nutrients quickly during their menstrual period, it is important to supplement their nutrition in a timely manner. In terms of diet, it is advisable to have a light and mild diet that is easy to digest. Overeating raw and cold foods should not be allowed, as cold can cause blood clotting, which can easily lead to dysmenorrhea, as well as excessive or sudden interruption of menstruation. Do not overeat spicy food to reduce uterine bleeding. Drink plenty of hot water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and maintain smooth bowel movements.
Menstruation is something that every female friend experiences every month, and it gradually disappears after menopause. Women during their menstrual period need special care, and female friends should also pay special attention to their lifestyle habits. Some unhealthy habits in daily life may worsen menstrual symptoms and further affect women's physical health.
