Women who are addicted to TV had better choose some relaxed TV programs or watch some wonderful comedies during their menstrual period, and their mood will naturally be better.
Ensure adequate sleep
Lack of sleep is a common thing for modern women. Moreover, during the menstrual period, it is difficult for women with normal menstruation to sleep as carefree as before. Therefore, they must rest early during the menstrual period. Adequate sleep can not only alleviate menstrual discomfort, but also ensure energetic work and life the next day.
Exercise properly
Menstrual period can work and study as usual, but be more careful than usual. Especially for women engaged in manual labor, they must grasp the intensity and avoid excessive labor, so as to avoid prolonged menstrual period, excessive blood volume and even dysmenorrhea. Women who like sports at ordinary times should also stop at enough these days. An appropriate amount of exercise can promote the blood circulation of the pelvic cavity, so as to reduce low back pain and lower abdominal discomfort. However, strenuous exercise and overwork will cause excessive congestion in the pelvic cavity, resulting in excessive menstruation, prolonged menstruation, abdominal pain, lumbar acid and other discomfort.
Keep the vulva clean
Conditional women can take a shower during menstrual period, but should not take a bath or sit bath; Female friends who are inconvenient to take a bath can wash the vulva with clean warm water, basin and towel to avoid genital palace infection. Drink more boiled water and keep your stool unobstructed. Swimming and sex should be prohibited and keep warm.
keep warm
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold will make muscles contract and spasm. In other words, heat can reduce the severity of dysmenorrhea. Therefore, women living in cold areas must pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation in cold seasons. Keeping the body warm will accelerate blood circulation and relax muscles, especially in the spasmodic and congested pelvic areas. Specific methods can use warm water bags, or take hot water baths, drink more hot water, or place hot compress bags or hot water bags on the abdomen for one minute.
Similarly, female friends living in the South should also avoid getting cold during menstruation, such as getting wet in the rain, wading in the water, sitting in the wetland, bathing in cold water, washing feet, etc., because the disease resistance of the body during menstruation is reduced, and cold will cause various diseases. Cold stimulation can also cause uterine vasoconstriction, resulting in menstruation, dysmenorrhea, or even menopause.
