During menstruation, a special time when women experience pain, frustration, depression, and anger, they often unleash a torrent of anger, instantly destroying any unsuitable boyfriend they might have.

Luckily, I have a background in obstetrics and gynecology, so Xiaoqi can never find fault with me or get angry with me (just kidding). I always feel that during the critical moment of menstruation, my life-saving tips are still missing something.

As a professional girlfriend "simp" who understands obstetrics and gynecology, I'm here to highlight some key points for you. If you do these things during your period, your girlfriend won't have much room to criticize you!

Rumor 1

You can't take a perfume during your period

Fairy Xiaoqi always ties her hair up with a hair tie and puts on a hat during her period, never letting anyone see her greasy hair!

The idea that you shouldn't wash your hair during your period has been around for a long time, but taking a nice, fragrant shower is actually the right thing to do during your period.

If boyfriends can't wash her hair, they should remind her to avoid using cold water and to dry it with hot air as soon as possible.

In the days leading up to menstruation, it's easy to feel like a wild beast unleashed, unstoppable. But once the flood has passed, there's no need to worry about the embarrassment of blood all over the floor when showering.

Taking a bath not only keeps you clean and prevents infection, but it also relieves fatigue. However, it's recommended that you shower, as bathing in a tub can easily lead to retrograde infection. As for a "couple's bath," forget about it...

In addition, washing the vulva daily is an important way to prevent infection and maintain a pleasant body scent. Note that this refers to the vulva; regardless of whether you are menstruating or not, you should not douche the vagina.

Girls would generally appreciate it if someone helped wash their underwear.

Rumor 2

I can eat whatever I want during my period and not gain weight

I don't believe you for a second.

If it were true that you could eat anything during your period and not gain weight, wouldn't you be laughing in your sleep? Xiaoqi, I wouldn't tell you the truth if you weren't already fat enough: obviously impossible!

During menstruation, the metabolic rate is almost the same as usual or slightly higher, which is far from enough to burn off the large amount of calories you consume. Even if your body temperature rises by 0.3℃-0.5℃ after ovulation, the energy expenditure is less than that of a single piece of candy you eat.

During menstruation, physical strength decreases, outdoor exercise decreases, and you spend most of your time lounging around, even the usual urge to count steps disappears.

If you don't control your diet during this period, you'll only be able to "sigh at the fat" when you look at the scale after your period.

Do you know why?

Due to the influence of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle, water retention is common before menstruation, leading to edema.

After menstruation, as the edema gradually disappears, weight differences will appear.

It's like water-injected pork being sun-dried! Other similar claims like "you won't gain weight on day 14 of your period" or "the most effective way to lose weight is during ovulation" are also false.

To truly lose weight, you need to control your diet and exercise; don't believe these rumors.

As for whether or not you can eat ice, it seems to contradict the advice to drink hot water. Theoretically speaking, ice won't worsen menstrual cramps, but drinking more hot water and eating less cold food is definitely a good idea. If eating ice during menstruation has absolutely no effect, you can buy some for your girlfriend.

Rumor 3

Having sex during menstruation

It's such a coincidence that every month when I meet my girlfriend, it happens to coincide with her period. I'm so aroused, I can't control my restless body anymore.

No, you must be able to endure it.

This isn't about me; I'm a righteous man.

Sex is indeed pleasurable, but there might be some concerns during menstruation:

When men and women have sexual intercourse, the female reproductive organs become irritated and congested, which may lead to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual periods.

During menstruation, women have lower immunity and their cervix is ​​slightly open, making them more susceptible to infections from bacteria introduced into the reproductive tract during sexual intercourse. These infections can lead to gynecological inflammation. Gynecological inflammation is not just about increased vaginal discharge and odor; women may face more serious conditions such as endometritis, salpingitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, and even endometriosis and infertility.

Similarly, secretions from the female reproductive tract can also enter the male reproductive tract and cause infection. Some people say, "I'll just wear a condom, right?" Well, go back and look at point 2.

A bloody battle might not be a pleasant experience, and you'll still be the one washing the dirty sheets; if you love her, abstain from sex during your period and use the time to exercise. This will not only distract you, but you might also be more attractive after getting a great physique.

Rumor 4

You can't run during your period

Everyone loves beauty, and as a refined woman, you can't afford to be complacent during your period.

To show off her figure, Xiaoqi still wears tight pants. Her behavior represents a segment of women; those who share this view, please read on.

During menstruation, the vulva is soaked in menstrual blood for a long time. Combined with non-breathable clothing, this can easily help microorganisms grow and cause vaginal inflammation. If not treated in time, the inflammation can spread and worsen the condition.

In particular, the abundance of pubic hair in women provides an ideal environment for bacterial growth.

It is recommended that girls wear comfortable and natural clothing. Consider other loose-fitting outfits, which will make the body more comfortable and reduce the amount of bacteria.

Boyfriends, your chance to shine has arrived! Your girlfriends don't have any nice clothes besides skinny jeans? Buy, buy, buy!

Of course, Xiaoqi is thrifty and frugal, so I believe she wouldn't waste money.

I turned around and saw that she was already clearing out her shopping cart.

Besides wearing tight clothes, exercise is definitely essential to maintain a good figure!

However, many girls do not choose to exercise during their menstrual period due to menstrual blood and pain.

However, some women who have a habit of exercising have expressed doubts: Can I continue to exercise during my period?

The answer is yes, but it should be kept within an acceptable range.

Strenuous exercise can cause the most serious side leakage, which is extremely embarrassing in public.

Excessive exercise can also cause discomfort during menstruation in women. Because women's physical strength is at its lowest during menstruation, training at the usual intensity can easily lead to injury.

There are countless roads, but safety is the most important. If you're not careful during your period, you'll end up in tears.

For girls who don't like exercising, it's recommended to take a walk.

Moderate exercise helps improve blood circulation, relieves lower abdominal bloating and pain, and also distracts attention, reducing tension and anxiety.

Of course, there are also those who want to lounge around like Ge You... Don't look at me like that, I'm talking about you.

Of course, the menstrual pain relief guide I listed in the last issue is also essential.

If your girlfriend is in excruciating pain, forcing her to exercise could lead to disaster.

Everyone, if you master these menstrual cycle tips today, you can become her menstrual health manager. I'm going to wake Xiaoqi up so we can review the points I just explained to her!
