There are misunderstandings about menstrual health care

Menstruation is a physiological matter, so it requires personal hygiene and other health care. Menstrual women temperament also needs to be taken care of. To see whether these health care methods are very accurate, let’s understand and compare their health care misunderstandings.

Misunderstandings about menstrual health

1. Beat the waist

When the waist is sore and the legs are swollen, we beat the sore and swollen muscles to relieve the discomfort. Similarly, many women will habitually beat the waist to relieve the soreness and swelling of the waist during menstruation.

But it was a mistake to do so. Gynecology Experts point out that soreness and swelling in the waist during menstruation is caused by pelvic congestion. Beating the waist at this time will cause more congestion in the pelvic cavity, which will in turn aggravate the feeling of soreness and swelling. In addition, beating the waist during menstruation is not conducive to the repair and healing of the wound after the endometrium is peeled off, leading to increased bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

2. Physical examination

In addition to not being suitable for gynecological examinations and urine tests during menstruation, it is also not suitable for blood tests, electrocardiograms and other examination items. Because it is affected by hormone secretion at this time, it is difficult to obtain real data.

3. Tooth removal

I am afraid that few dentists will ask you whether you are on your period before moving your teeth, but you must know that you cannot move your teeth during your period! Otherwise, not only will the amount of bleeding increase during tooth removal, but the smell of blood will remain in the mouth for a long time after tooth removal, affecting appetite and leading to menstrual malnutrition. This is because during menstruation, the endometrium releases more tissue-activating substances, which activate fibrinolytic enzymes in the blood into fibrinolytic enzymes with anticoagulant effects. At the same time, the number of platelets in the body also decreases, so the body's coagulation ability is reduced and the hemostasis time is prolonged.

4. Clean the vagina with shower gel

The vagina is prone to odor during menstruation, especially in summer, but it is not healthy enough to clean the vagina with body soap when taking a bath, or wash the vagina repeatedly with hot water. On the contrary, it is easy to cause vaginal infection and lead to itching. Because the vagina of women usually has a slightly acidic environment, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria, but during menstruation, the vagina becomes alkaline, and its resistance to bacteria decreases, making it susceptible to infection. If you do not use professional vaginal cleaning solutions or wash it repeatedly with hot water, the alkalinity will increase. Therefore, you need to choose a professional vaginal cleaning solution when cleaning your vagina, especially during menstruation.

5. Drinking

It is also affected by the secretion of hormones in the body. The anti-hangover enzymes in women during menstruation are reduced, so they are more likely to get drunk after drinking alcohol. What's more serious is that in order to produce decomposing enzymes to help break down alcohol, the burden on the liver is significantly increased, so drinking during this period will cause greater damage to the liver than usual.

To correctly and reasonably take care of menstrual problems, you must avoid the above health care methods. I hope that the above introduction and recommendations can help everyone and guide everyone to correctly take care of menstrual problems.
