Therefore, it is very important to do a good job in preventing cold and heat preservation during menstruation in midsummer. So, what issues should women pay attention to during menstruation in midsummer? With a series of questions, our reporter visited Chengdu Boai Hospital of Gynecology Experts, experts remind: In the middle of summer, female If you are weak during your period, you should pay attention to keeping warm and cold to avoid causing other gynecological diseases.

　　It is not advisable to use the electric fan for a long time

　　Because the wind source of the electric fan is very concentrated, the body is in a static state after a person is asleep, and the sweat pores are open. If you blow an electric fan for a long time during menstruation, especially if you keep the electric fan on after a nap or at night, you will easily catch cold and catch a cold. cold and menstrual disorders such as scanty menstrual blood, irregular menstruation, and even amenorrhea. Therefore, although the weather is hot during the scorching heat of midsummer, women should not blow electric fans for a long time during menstruation. In addition, menstruating women should not sit or lie down in drafty places for too long.

　　It is not advisable to eat a lot of cold drinks

　　If women eat too much cold drinks during menstruation, they will irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, cause sudden spasm of gastrointestinal blood vessels, reduce the secretion of digestive juices, directly affect the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract, and even cause stomach ache、diarrhea and other digestive disorders. At the same time, women's pelvic cavity and vagina are obviously congested during menstruation. Sudden cold stimulation will reflexively cause spasm and contraction of blood vessels in the uterus and pelvic cavity, resulting in Dysmenorrhea , menopause and other gynecological diseases.

　　Not suitable for sitting or lying on brick floors

　　There are countless tiny pores in the bricks. These pores are highly permeable and hygroscopic. They have the characteristics of fast heat absorption, fast heat dissipation and high thermal conductivity. If women often sit or lie on the brick or cement floor during menstruation, body heat will easily be transferred to the brick or cement floor continuously, causing the body to catch cold and moisture, which can cause pain in muscles, bones and joints. At the same time, the moisture absorbed by the brick or cement floor attacks the human body, invades the skin, and stays in the meridian joints, causing the joints and muscle tissue to shrink and spasm, reducing disease resistance, blocking the movement of Qi and blood, and blocking the lymphatic circulation, causing low back and leg pain, scanty menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other gynecological diseases.

　　Not suitable for sleeping outdoors

　　During menstruation, the excitability of women's cerebral cortex decreases, and the body's resistance is correspondingly weakened. If they want to cool off for a while and sleep outside in the open air at night, the temperature drops late at night, the cool breeze blows, and the limbs are in a static state due to inactivity, the muscles relax, and the sweat pores open, which makes them more susceptible to moisture and cold air, causing waist and leg pain, menstrual disorders, or inducing joint inflammation. Also, when sleeping in summer, whether during menstruation or non-menstruation, you should cover your abdomen with a towel or quilt to prevent menstrual diseases caused by catching cold in the abdomen.
