Thirteen taboos on women’s menstrual health care

　　1. It is not advisable to beat the back

　　many female Before and after menstruation, they often feel back pain. They often beat their backs with their hands. The pain is temporarily relieved, but doing so may cause greater trouble.

　　It turns out that during menstruation, pelvic congestion is obvious, and women will feel slight discomfort, such as backache, swollen calves or lower abdomen, breast distended pain , increased frequency of urination and defecation, diarrhea、constipate etc., and even systemic symptoms such as fatigue, drowsiness, and facial swelling may occur. These are normal physiological phenomena that will disappear automatically after menstruation and generally do not require treatment. However, if you hit your lower back hard at this time, the local area will be stimulated by vibration, causing further congestion in the pelvic cavity, accelerated blood flow, and increased menstrual flow, thus causing Menorrhagia Or prolonged menstruation. In addition, women’s systemic and local resistance is lower at this time, Uterus Intimal peeling forms a wound and the cervix is ​​relaxed. If it is often stimulated by external blows, it will not only hinder the repair and healing of the wound, but also easily lead to acute and chronic infections. Gynecology disease。

　　Therefore, women should pay attention to getting more rest when they have back pain during their period, and do not hit their backs at will to avoid adverse consequences.

　　2. It is not appropriate to sing generously

　　Have you noticed: During menstruation, your voice will not be as mellow and beautiful as usual, and your voice will get tired easily. This is caused by changes in the endocrine system during menstruation.

　　Female vocal cords are affected by sex hormones in the body. During menstruation, in addition to the changes in women's uterus, breasts and other reproductive organs under the influence of hormones, the vocal cords also undergo changes, which are mainly manifested in the capillaries in the vocal cords being congested and edematous, and the vocal cords becoming brittle. If you shout loudly without control or use your voice excessively, the capillaries in the vocal cords that are prone to bleeding will rupture and bleed, causing hoarseness or even aphonia. If this continues, the vocal cords will be strained, injured and thickened, and the sweet and melodious voice will become hoarse and rough. According to statistics, clinical Patients with upper vocal cord hemorrhage were significantly more likely to be female than male , the main reason lies in this.

　　In order to protect your sweet and beautiful singing voice, please do not sing loudly or raise your voice from two days before menstruation to the end of menstruation, and let your vocal cords rest!

　　3. It is not advisable to extract teeth hastily

　　In order to extract the painful tooth as soon as possible, some women conceal their menstrual cramps from doctors or ignore the doctor's advice and insist on extracting teeth during menstruation. Doing so will often lead to excessive bleeding after tooth extraction, which can easily lead to infection, adding unnecessary trouble and pain to yourself.

　　This is because women's platelets will change greatly during menstruation. They can often decrease on the first day of menstruation, and they do not rise back to the original number until the third or fourth day. In addition, during menstruation, the human endometrium can release more tissue-activating substances, which can activate plasminogen in the blood into plasmin with anticoagulant effects, increasing the body's tendency to bleed. Therefore, tooth extraction (or surgery) during the menstrual period may cause heavy bleeding, easily lead to wound infection, and hinder healing.

　　It can be seen that, unless there are special circumstances, women should avoid tooth extraction (or surgery) during the menstrual period. The best time for women to extract teeth (or surgery) is: about 5 to 10 days after menstruation (i.e. the period between two menstruation). This time is not only safe and has less bleeding, but also less prone to infection and other complications, which is conducive to early wound healing.

　　4. Don’t eat too much salt

　　Some women usually have the habit of "eating salty food" (eating salty food), but eating too much salty food (food with a lot of salt) before menstruation is not good for their menstrual health.

　　Salt, whose scientific name is sodium chloride, decomposes into chloride ions and sodium ions in the body, and sodium ions have the effect of gathering water. Therefore, eating too much salt will not only cause edema, hypertension and other diseases, but also easily lead to extreme premenstrual tension. Researchers have found that if you eat a lot of salty foods before menstruation, excessive salt and water will be stored in the body. Symptoms such as headaches, local swelling, restlessness, excitement and irritability will occur on the eve of menstruation, which will cause trouble during menstruation.
