Is it really not allowed to massage the soles of your feet during menstruation? Don't worry, let's find out.

Can women massage their feet during menstruation?

Foot massage mainly stimulates the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet through massage, dredges the blocked meridians in the body, and makes the blood flow more smoothly. It can relieve human fatigue and make people feel very comfortable. However, if women massage the soles of their feet during menstruation, it will speed up the blood flow and increase uterine bleeding. It will disrupt the menstrual cycle of women and increase physical discomfort. Therefore, it is best not to massage the soles of the feet during menstruation. If you must have a foot massage, you should ask a professional doctor to perform the massage, and the time should be controlled within 20 minutes. Everything depends on comfort.

What should women pay attention to during menstruation?

1. Do not eat raw, cold or stimulating food

Women should not drink cold drinks or beer, strong tea or coffee, or eat spicy, salty or other irritating foods during menstruation. Cold foods can cause uterine coldness, blocked meridians, poor menstrual blood flow, and dysmenorrhea. Foods with irritating tastes can cause uterine contractions, irregular menstruation, and are not conducive to detoxification. Therefore, it is better to be patient with some irritating foods during menstruation.

2. Don’t do strenuous exercise

Some girls love to exercise to maintain a perfect figure, which is very good. However, during menstruation, you must not do strenuous exercise, such as skipping rope, swimming, jogging, etc., because these strenuous exercises will disrupt the normal contraction of the uterus, leading to irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea or prolonged menstruation. However, you can do some soothing exercises, such as brisk walking and jogging, which can promote the circulation of uterine blood and help eliminate toxins in the body.

3. Don’t hit your waist

During menstruation, women often feel backache and fatigue due to pelvic congestion, and like to hit their waists. This is a very wrong practice. They think that hitting the waist at this time will cause more pelvic congestion and severe uterine contraction. The amount of bleeding increases, the menstrual period is prolonged, and the back pain and swelling increase.

4. Do not have sex

During menstruation, women's body resistance decreases. If they have sex at this time and do not have good personal hygiene, the resistance of women's private parts will be weakened, and bacteria will easily go up and invade the uterus, which can easily cause gynecological diseases. Therefore, women during menstruation must not have sex.

After reading the above content, female friends must take care of their bodies and try to avoid doing things that are not suitable during menstruation. And keep a happy mood during menstruation, because too much emotional fluctuation during menstruation can also cause physical discomfort. In short, pay attention to diet and keep warm during menstruation. Let our bodies detoxify well, so that we can be more beautiful and healthy.
