A woman has the chance to experience the miracle of childbirth, but this happiness must be paid for every month. This perception of the menstrual cycle helps to cope with the various discomforts that arise during menstruation. This article is not about saying you can’t wear white pants during your period, nor that a woman shouldn’t be allowed to attend Orthodox services if she is menstruating… We’ll tell you what you should not do during your period if you want to preserve your female health.
Woman during menstruation
Many women experience painful sensations in the lower abdomen during menstruation, pulling and discomfort. In this case, is it possible to take painkillers?
It is possible, but a few points must be taken into account. First, it is strictly forbidden to take drugs that affect blood clotting and blood formation: analgin and aspirin. Second, you should not self-prescribe an anesthetic, even if it is not acetylsalicylic acid but paracetamol. It’s better to leave medications to a doctor!
During menstruation the hormonal background changes, and the body’s response to medications changes.
Allergies can occur out of the blue
It can happen that you become intolerant to drugs prescribed by a doctor to treat an infection, such as antibiotics. If you feel that something is wrong: nausea, dizziness, persistent weakness, rash, sharp pain, digestive disorders, go straight to the hospital.
Why shouldn’t you take a hot bath during menstruation?
Because it stimulates blood flow and can cause bleeding. The same applies to a hot shower or sauna.
Drinking alcohol can also trigger heavy bleeding: it dilates the walls of blood vessels, so drinking during menstruation is highly undesirable.
For the same reason you should not eat certain foods
chocolate, yeast bread, overly spicy and salty foods, sour cream, nuts, eggs, milk, coffee, meat products in the form of sausages. These foods can also cause headaches during menstruation and even dizziness.
The gastrointestinal tract is connected to the urogenital system, so do not underestimate the importance of nutrition! We have been taught to avoid physical activity during menstruation, but very little has been said about what to eat and what to refuse. By adjusting your diet during this period you can even get rid of painful sensations!
Cosmetic procedures during your period are unnecessary
Peels, mesotherapy, lip augmentation, injections of botox and hyaluronic acid, tattooing! Even simple hair coloring can produce unexpected results. Pain increases with any manipulation of the skin and hair, for example when plucking eyebrows, all due to the high progesterone content in the blood.
