Menstruation is a unique physiological characteristic of women and occurs approximately every 28 days. Many women encounter a variety of embarrassments during their menstrual period, such as local itching, menstrual blood sticking to their pants, and perineal swelling. See if you have experienced this.

What embarrassments will you encounter during menstruation?

1. Local itching

The itching of the vulva and thighs during menstruation is unbearable, which is mainly related to local friction and inflammation. If your vulva itches during menstruation, you may be allergic to sanitary napkins. Many girls like to use scented sanitary napkins. Such sanitary napkins contain fragrances, which are common allergens. In addition, women’s vulva skin is very delicate, and mesh sanitary napkins can cause irritation to the vulva and cause itching. You must choose sanitary napkins produced by regular manufacturers with low irritation, no fragrance and cotton surface, and change them every two hours. When going to bed at night, wash the area with warm water to keep the vulva clean and dry.

2. Backache and perineal swelling

Congestion of pelvic organs during menstruation can cause perineal swelling and backache. The symptoms are not very obvious. However, inflammation can lead to local tissue congestion and edema, aggravating physical discomfort. Therefore, when you suffer from inflammation, you need to choose a regular hospital and receive scientific and standardized treatment. In addition, if soreness and perineal swelling seriously affect your daily life, you need to go to the hospital for angiography or pelvic MRI to check for pelvic blood flow disorders.

3. Acne on face

Some women will have acne on their face during menstruation, which is caused by male hormones secreted in the body. During this period, you must pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene. Do not use strong alkaline facial cleansers, and do not squeeze acne with your hands. If the symptoms are severe, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

4. Menstrual blood sticks to pants

The most embarrassing thing for women is when menstrual blood gets on their pants. Women with regular menstrual periods should carry sanitary napkins with them and wear dark-colored pants before and after menstruation. If menstruation is irregular, you need to go to the hospital for examination and adjust your menstruation.

5. Gastrointestinal symptoms

Some women may have gastrointestinal symptoms during menstruation, such as diarrhea, vomiting and farting. Because too much prostaglandins are secreted during menstruation, the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated. During this period, you must pay attention to dietary hygiene, avoid eating cold and spicy foods, and keep your lower abdomen warm to relieve digestive tract symptoms.

6. Bad temper

Hormonal levels change greatly during menstruation, and some women will suffer from menstrual syndrome, the main manifestations of which are irritability, bad temper, insomnia and dreaminess. During this period, you should keep your mood calm and take appropriate rest. You can distract your attention by listening to music or watching TV series.

Warm reminder

Don’t worry too much when you encounter the above six embarrassments during menstruation, just deal with them correctly. During this period, maintain a good attitude, avoid getting angry, take showers instead of baths, and do not swim. During this period, drink plenty of warm water and avoid iced drinks to avoid aggravating the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.
