How to effectively prevent vaginitis in women during menstruation

The menstrual period is a favorable time for vaginitis to take advantage of the opportunity to invade, so women should take various preventive measures.

1. Dietary taboos

During menstruation, women should first follow basic dietary taboos, such as avoiding drinking alcohol and cold drinks, avoiding eating raw and cold fruits and sour and spicy foods.

2. Avoid cold water

Women during menstruation should avoid taking cold showers, and should also avoid using cold water when washing local areas to avoid catching a cold or causing local infection.

3. Pay attention to hygiene

Women during menstruation should pay attention to the cleanliness of themselves and their surroundings, change their underwear and bed sheets frequently, and especially avoid using any unclean items as sanitary napkins.

4. Prevent fatigue

Women should avoid excessive fatigue and participation in various strenuous activities during menstruation, such as weightlifting, long-distance running, skipping rope, etc., to prevent the body's resistance from being reduced due to excessive fatigue, giving vaginitis an opportunity to invade.

5. Avoid having sex

Sexual intercourse during menstruation is a common cause of vaginitis in women and should be strictly avoided.

6. Correct local cleaning

Women should learn the correct local cleaning method during menstruation and avoid using various vaginal washes frequently to prevent them from destroying the normal flora environment in the vagina and inducing vaginal inflammation. When washing the vagina, try to use clean water and do not insert fingers or towels into the vagina during the washing process to prevent bacteria from invading and causing vaginal infection. In addition, when choosing vaginal washes, choose acidic washes and never choose alkaline washes.
