      4. Unexpected pregnancy

      Many people believe that menstruation is an absolutely safe period, so they do not use any contraceptive measures when having sex. However, some people have very short menstrual cycles and will ovulate a few days after the end of their menstrual period. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for 3 days, so it is possible that the sperm released during menstrual intercourse can survive until a woman ovulates. Therefore, there are also cases of unintended pregnancy during menstrual sex, although this is rare.

      5、Gynecology inflammation

      During sex, the male genitals may bring bacteria into the vagina, and menstrual blood is very suitable for bacterial growth. Therefore, bacteria can easily spread along the tiny wounds in the endometrium, infect the endometrium, and may even infect the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity, leading to endometritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease wait disease , severe cases may even lead to infertility.

      What are the taboos during menstruation?

      1. Avoid spicy and cold food

      Spicy, raw, and cold foods are irritating and can easily cause pelvic vasoconstriction, resulting in low menstrual blood volume or even sudden cessation. In addition, irritating substances such as tobacco and alcohol will also have a certain impact on menstruation. If you do not pay attention to avoid it, in the long run, it will occur. Dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders.

      2. Avoid cheese foods

      Cheese is the cause of menstrual cramps. Foods such as milk, cheese, cream, yeast milk, and eggs can disrupt the absorption of magnesium and cause dysmenorrhea.

      3. Avoid pulling teeth

      Before the tooth is moved, the dentist will ask you whether you are on your period. You cannot move your teeth during your menstrual period! Otherwise, not only will the amount of bleeding increase during the tooth removal, but the smell of blood will remain in your mouth for a long time after the tooth is removed, which will affect your appetite and lead to malnutrition during menstruation.

      4. Avoid physical examination

      The physical examination time should avoid the menstrual period. It is best to choose the period from the end of menstruation to the day of ovulation to undergo the examination. If a disease is discovered through a gynecological examination, you must actively take treatment measures according to the doctor's treatment plan and do not take it lightly.

      5. Avoid wearing tights

      Many women like to wear tight clothes during menstruation, thinking that this will not only avoid the embarrassment of side leakage, but also relieve abdominal pain. In fact, this is unscientific. During the menstrual period, a large amount of menstrual blood will flow out of women. If the perineal ventilation is not good at this time, the humid environment may cause the growth of some microorganisms. This is how some fungal vaginitis occurs. If not treated in time, it may also cause upward infection to the pelvic cavity.

      Moreover, there are a large number of hair follicle glands in the female perineum, and tight underwear can easily block the secretion of sweat glands, which is especially obvious during the menstrual period. If the cleaning is not enough and bacteria multiply in large quantities, inflammation of the hair follicle glands will occur. In a few cases, it may also lead to vulvar loose connective tissue inflammation, Bartholin gland abscess and other diseases.

      6. Avoid strenuous sports

      During menstruation, strenuous exercise can induce or aggravate general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. Some strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure can cause menorrhagia or prolonged periods. But moderate physical activity is beneficial to girls' bodies.

      Some physical activities with small volume, light intensity and gentle movements can promote blood circulation and reduce abdominal distension and abdominal pain during menstruation, which are beneficial. At the same time, it also helps to adjust the brain's excitement and inhibition processes, distract attention, keep the spirit happy, and reduce menstrual tension, irritability and other discomforts.

      7. Avoid drinking cold drinks

      Therefore, it is difficult for the things peeled off from the endometrium to be discharged from the body normally. If the menstrual blood cannot be discharged from the body in time, stagnation will form in the body, which is also an important factor in the formation of blood congestion. In addition, when blood clots are produced in the body, it will also affect the normal flow of Qi and blood, thus affecting the normal flow of Qi and blood in the uterus and damaging the health of the uterus.

      In addition, in order to promote the discharge of menstrual blood, the uterus will increase the strength of its contractions, thereby causing dysmenorrhea.

      In addition, women's bodies are more sensitive during menstruation than usual, and eating a lot of cold drinks at this time will cause cold air to invade the body, and the damage to the uterus is the greatest. Because the uterus is the part most sensitive to cold, and the invasion of cold air will cause the uterus to become cold and cause a decline in uterine function, thus affecting the normal endocrine function, and is also the main factor that damages normal ovulation in women.
