What are the detailed health care methods for women during menstruation

It is not advisable to wear thongs during menstruation

In order to enhance the close-fitting effect, some thongs are made of chemical fiber materials with poor air permeability, which can easily cause skin damage, infection or allergies. Therefore, thongs are not suitable for long-term wear, especially during menstruation. The coverage area of ​​T-string is small, and the relevant parts are only tied with a rope or cloth belt. The local pressure of the cloth tape is strong and it constantly rubs against the skin, which can easily cause local skin damage and infection.

Prepare special underwear for menstruation

According to gynecological expert Director He, some poor-quality sanitary napkins have too much adhesive on the back. The adhesive sticks to the underwear and is difficult to completely remove from the underwear through washing. Regardless of whether the adhesive is a harmful substance, it must be an artificial chemical substance. If the underwear worn during menstruation is left for daily wear, the adhesive that has not been completely washed off may directly come into contact with a woman's vagina, making women susceptible to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis or vulvitis. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare a few pairs of underwear to wear during menstruation and wear other underwear at ordinary times.

Change underwear frequently during menstruation

According to common sense, unless there are special circumstances, underwear is worn all day long and is changed only when taking a shower. But you have to pay attention during the menstrual period. Although the underwear is covered with sanitary napkins, the humid vaginal environment will easily produce some bacteria. These bacteria are easily affected by walking movements and run to the underwear. In other words, underwear used during menstruation is stained with several times more bacteria than usual. If a pair of underwear is worn for a whole day, the accumulated amount of bacteria will be alarming. Therefore, during menstruation, it is recommended to change underwear frequently.

Avoid wearing tight clothes during menstruation

Women who love beauty often wear tight clothes during menstruation to highlight their curves. However, in fact, wearing tight clothes during menstruation has many dangers. Many experts say that tight clothing has an inseparable relationship with the occurrence of endometriosis. That’s because a large amount of menstrual blood flows out of a woman’s vagina, and poor ventilation can allow microorganisms to breed. Moreover, the hair follicles in the vagina are densely covered, and tight clothing can block the secretion of sweat glands. It can also suppress the uterus, making menstrual blood flow less smooth, which can cause dysmenorrhea and some vaginal inflammation.

It is best to choose cotton for menstrual clothing

In the huge clothing market, there are all kinds of clothing fabrics, such as leather, silk, nylon, etc. During the production process of clothing, in order to make the style feel and design look better, merchants will also add some artificial chemicals to achieve the desired effect. These substances can cause cancer when worn on the human body. For this reason, in addition to daily attention, we must pay more attention to menstruation. Nylon and denim are inherently poor in breathability, which is not good for the vagina. It is breathable, and the hard texture will rub against the skin near the vagina and cause skin inflammation. For this reason, experts recommend that inner and outer clothing should be made of cotton.

Don’t dress too thinly during menstruation

Whether it is summer or winter, women’s body resistance will decrease during menstruation, and their ability to withstand cold will also become worse. If they wear thin clothes during menstruation because of their love for beauty, the pores of the human body will be easily invaded by cold air, leading to a series of diseases. For women, the most serious thing is that the uterus will be cold, which will not only cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders, but also lead to infertility, sexual indifference and other phenomena. For this reason, you must wear warm clothes during menstruation, especially around the waist and uterus.

Be careful wearing skirts during menstruation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the qi and blood in the uterus and disc cavity are smooth, inflammation will naturally be eliminated. It can be seen that the female reproductive organ system is most afraid of cold. For this reason, you must take measures to keep warm during menstruation and try to avoid wearing skirts, because the wide outer hem of skirts can easily allow cold air to invade the uterus, causing uterine cold. If you really want to wear a skirt, it is recommended to wear thick cotton pantyhose and a long jacket to keep your lower limbs warm.

Wear less high heels during menstruation

The human body is a sensitive and complete system. It can be said that one move affects the whole body. Many white-collar women cannot help but wear high heels to work. High heels that are not in line with human health functions have always been controversial. Needless to say, the harm of high heels is that if they are worn during menstruation, the blood circulation in the soles of the feet will be blocked, and the entire human body's blood circulation system will not function properly. This will affect the discharge of menstrual blood from the endometrium, causing symptoms such as qi and blood blockage, irregular menstruation and other symptoms.
