      How to take care of yourself during menstruation? Having a "good friend" who comes to visit you every month will cause some inconvenience to most women. If you want to stay away from the trouble of menstruation, some maintenance methods are indispensable.

      1. Supplement potassium. Iron potassium can relieve mood, suppress pain, prevent infection, and reduce menstrual blood loss. Supplement iron-rich foods, such as fish, various animal livers, egg yolks, etc.

      2. Control the amount of exercise. It is not necessary to absolutely prohibit exercise during the menstrual period. However, high-intensity and large-volume exercise will cause excessive menstrual blood or affect the menstrual flow. Uterus normal position.

      3. During menstruation, you should avoid being overly cold or overheated (cold showers and saunas), especially the lower abdomen. Do not get exposed to rain, wade or swim, and do not sit in damp, cool places or in the air ducts of air conditioners or electric fans.

      4. Do not beat your lower back during menstruation. Beating your lower back at this time will make the pelvic cavity more congested and blood flow will accelerate, leading to Menorrhagia , prolonged menstruation, making back pain more serious.

      5. Wearing tight underwear during the menstrual period without tights will make the menstrual blood flow sluggish, and it will also cause a sudden change in the pressure in the pelvic and abdominal cavity when taking off the clothes, which can easily cause the reflux of menstrual blood.

      6. Do not do X-ray examination before menstruation. Women of childbearing age are in the ovulation stage before menstruation. X-ray examination at this time can cause damage to egg cells or fertilized eggs, causing poor embryonic development, resulting in fetus Congenital abnormalities, mental retardation, limb defects, etc. 》》》 Color changes in women with menstrual disorders
