Many women experience various discomforts during their menstrual period, the most common being menstrual cramps and diarrhea. These symptoms can be severe and even interfere with daily life, studies, and work. So, what should women pay attention to during their period?
Replenish Qi and Blood
Women with sufficient Qi and blood not only have a rosy and radiant complexion, but can also prevent diarrhea during menstruation.
Women can eat more foods that nourish qi and blood and warm the uterus, such as red dates and longan, to replenish qi, nourish blood, calm the mind, and regulate symptoms of qi and blood deficiency and spleen deficiency. If diarrhea occurs during menstruation, drinking some brown sugar ginger tea can regulate the stomach and intestines, warm the uterus, dispel cold, and relieve diarrhea symptoms.
Keep your body warm.
Some fashion-conscious women like to expose their navels, ankles, or legs when they dress, which makes it easy for cold air to invade the body and cause uterine coldness, leading to dysmenorrhea and diarrhea.
Women should pay particular attention to keeping warm, especially their abdomen and feet. Only when the body is warm can blood circulation throughout the body be accelerated.
Soaking feet before bed
The feet have many acupoints, and soaking your feet before bed can promote blood circulation. While soaking your feet, you can also massage the soles, which can improve your constitution, delay aging, and alleviate menstrual diarrhea.
Don't stay up late.
Women should go to bed earlier during their menstrual period, as the harm of staying up late during this time is greater than at other times. Developing good sleep habits can prevent diarrhea during menstruation.
Try not to massage your lower back.
Many women experience lower back pain during their menstrual period, and sometimes they can't help but pound their lower back. Lower back pain is actually caused by pelvic congestion, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, repeatedly pounding the lower back can actually worsen pelvic congestion and lead to heavier menstrual bleeding.
Do not have sex during menstruation
Sexual intercourse is not advisable during menstruation. During menstruation, the uterine lining sheds and the pelvic cavity becomes congested. If sexual intercourse occurs at this time, it can not only increase the risk of gynecological infections but also worsen pelvic congestion, causing various discomforts.
