Pay attention to hygiene

When bleeding occurs, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, change underwear and menstrual pads frequently, and never fail to clean the vulva because of bleeding. On the contrary, you must clean it every day during menstruation to remove blood stains. You can use some vulva cleansers or warm water, but you should avoid bathing in a tub. Women should avoid sexual intercourse during the bleeding period. If the amount of bleeding is large, it can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. You should strengthen hemostasis measures and take anti-infection treatment as appropriate to prevent inflammation and acute infectious diseases.
