Menstrual taboo, can you have a physical examination during menstruation?

Why is menstruation a very troublesome day for women? In addition to hormones affecting mood, it is more about menstrual dysmenorrhea and a bunch of precautions to pay attention to during menstruation. Because it is an extraordinary period during menstruation, there are many things to pay attention to in order to make menstruation pass safely. What are the taboos during menstruation?

Taboos during menstruation

Not suitable for hitting the waist

When the waist is sore and the legs are swollen, we beat the sore muscles to relieve the discomfort. Similarly, many women will habitually beat their waist during menstruation to relieve waist pain. But it was a mistake. Lumbar pain during menstruation is caused by pelvic congestion. At this time, beating the waist will lead to more congestion in the pelvic cavity and aggravate the pain. In addition, waist beating during menstruation is not conducive to the repair and healing of wounds after endometrial exfoliation, leading to increased bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

Not suitable for physical examination

In addition to gynecological examination and urine test, it is not suitable for blood test and electrocardiogram during menstruation. Because of the influence of hormone secretion at this time, it is difficult to get real data.

Not suitable for tooth extraction

I'm afraid few dentists will ask you if you have your period before tooth extraction, but you must know that you can't pull out your teeth during menstruation! Otherwise, not only will the amount of bleeding increase during tooth extraction, but there will be blood smell in the mouth for a long time after tooth extraction, which will affect appetite and lead to menstrual malnutrition. This is because during menstruation, the endometrium releases more tissue-activating substances, which activate the plasminogen in the blood into fibrinolytic enzyme with anticoagulant effect, and at the same time, the number of platelets in the body is also reduced, so the coagulation ability of the body is reduced and the hemostasis time is prolonged.

Do not use shower gel to clean your genitals.

Pubic odor is prone to occur during menstruation, especially in summer. However, it is unhealthy to wash the genitals with shower gel or repeatedly with hot water when taking a bath, which may easily lead to pudendal infection and itching. Because women's vagina is a slightly acidic environment on weekdays, it can inhibit the growth of bacteria, but during menstruation, the vagina will be alkaline, the resistance to bacteria will be reduced, and it is easy to be infected. If you don't use professional vaginal cleaning solution or rinse it repeatedly with hot water, it will lead to an increase in alkalinity. Therefore, it is very necessary to choose professional pudendal cleaning solution to clean pudendal region, especially during menstrual period.

Points for attention in menstrual nursing

1. It is very important to keep warm during menstruation. Especially to protect the lower body; Don't wade in the rain; Don't wash your feet and bathe with cold water, let alone swim. Don't sit in a damp and cool place or the air outlet of air conditioner or electric fan. Don't wear clothes that show your navel and waist. Applying a warm water bag to your stomach during menstruation can relieve pain.

It's important to have a good menstrual rest. Excessive fatigue can lead to prolonged menstrual period or excessive blood loss.

3. Don't get excited about something during your period. It is extremely important to keep a stable mood. Such as emotional excitement, depression and anger often lead to qi stagnation, which in turn leads to late menstruation, dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea. It will disturb the menstrual period and damage the liver.

4. Try not to wash your hair during menstruation. If you have to wash it, try to wash it at noon and blow dry your head immediately after washing. In addition, because the opening of the uterus during the physiological period is relatively open, it is also more susceptible to pollution, so it is best to take a bath.

5. Wash private parts during menstruation, and use warm water. Don't use some lotion to clean the vulva, because lotion will wash away the sebum secreted by the vulva, which is used to protect the delicate mucosa from harm. When sebum is washed away, mucous membrane is easily injured, which increases the chance of infection.

6. It is important to choose sanitary products. Sanitary products and women's private parts live together day and night, so their quality is directly related to women's health. For sanitary napkins or tampons in use, it is more important to change them frequently. Experts remind that tampons should be replaced every 4-6 hours to avoid inflammation caused by excessive growth of bacteria. If the tampon stays in the vagina for too long, it may scratch the vaginal wall, and bacteria will enter the blood from the wound, causing toxic shock. Although sanitary napkins are unlikely to cause such serious consequences, if they are not replaced for a long time, they will also breed a large number of bacteria, which is equivalent to carrying a small bacterial bag with you.
