The menstrual period is the weakest time for women. They must protect their bodies well to prevent cold air from invading the body and causing various gynecological diseases. Avoid entering some minefields during menstruation, otherwise it will cause harm to the body.

What are the minefields during menstruation?

1. Blindly taking supplements

Losing blood during menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon. You should indeed supplement nutrients. You may wish to drink more brown sugar water or rose tea to regulate your body. However, you cannot eat tonic foods during menstruation, such as ginseng and astragalus, as this will increase menstrual flow and prolong the menstrual period. If you want to take tonic food, you need to wait a week after the menstruation is completely over before taking tonic food.

2. Eating raw, cold and spicy food during menstruation

The editor has emphasized many times that spicy and cold food should not be eaten during menstruation, but there are still some women who can't control their mouths and eat a lot of spicy and irritating food and cold drinks during menstruation. The body's resistance and immunity decrease during menstruation, and cold food is cold in nature. Spicy food will directly stimulate the patient's intestines, causing dysmenorrhea or aggravating the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

3. Sitz bath during menstruation

During menstruation, you should do a good job of personal hygiene. Bathing is necessary, but try to take a bath or wipe with a towel. Do not sit in a bath. During menstruation, menstrual blood must be discharged, so the cervix will be open. Sitting in a bath may cause dirty water to flow directly into the vagina, causing infection and increasing the risk of urethritis or vaginitis.

4. Not eating

70% of people who want to lose weight believe that skipping meals during menstruation can help them lose weight, but our bodies must have enough calories to support them, and only carbohydrates can be converted into calories. During menstruation, women's bodies are already very weak, and skipping meals will make them even weaker. The human body must have enough energy to consume, and once it lacks nutrition, it will cause weight rebound, disrupt endocrine system, and lead to irregular menstruation.

5. Overeating

For some people, their appetite increases during menstruation, so they overeat and eat a lot of what they like. This increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and liver, thereby affecting blood circulation and causing the body to become increasingly obese.

Kind tips

Women should avoid the above five misunderstandings during menstruation, avoid eating spicy, irritating and cold foods, do not blindly take supplements, try to take a shower during menstruation, and never diet blindly to lose weight.
