Is it good for girls to donate blood?

In our lives, everyone is familiar with blood donation. In our country, blood donation is generally free of charge, which means that under normal circumstances, blood donors do not receive any compensation after donating blood. Donating blood is beneficial to the donor himself, and of course it will not affect the donor's physical health. If a girl donates blood, it is best not to do it before or after her menstrual period.

Case 1: In order to ensure the quality of blood and avoid unexpected situations during the blood donation process, blood donors should eat mainly vegetarian food a few days before donating blood, and it is best to eat less greasy food. You cannot be on an empty stomach before donating blood. You should eat light food on the morning of the day of donation, such as porridge, steamed buns, bread, eggs, etc., to avoid dizziness, palpitations, sweating and other reactions during the blood donation process. Drink plenty of water, preferably sugar water. If you drink more than one or two glasses of liquor two hours before donating blood, you will fail the test, so you cannot drink alcohol before donating blood. In the second case , do not eat Holmes mints (the dark blue one), fish, meat, fried dough sticks, fried cakes, eggs, milk, high-fat, high-protein foods, large amounts of peanuts, melon seeds, and soy products, so as not to affect the test results and blood quality.

Case 3: It is best not to take any medicines three days before donating blood, such as aspirin, cefradine, sildenafil, petrolatum, vitamin E, indomethacin, dipyridamole, aminophylline, chloramphenicol and anti-allergic drugs, as these medicines have serious effects on the blood recipient and also affect the recovery after blood donation. Situation 4: Do not eat too much the night before donating blood. 1. Generally, no special diet is required before donating blood. You can drink 300 to 500 ml of beverages before donating blood. It is advisable to choose brown sugar water, honey water, white sugar water, sugary fruit juice, pure fruit juice, etc. Before donating blood, do not eat foods high in protein, such as shrimp and crabs, to avoid protein deterioration and the appearance of allergens in the blood. You should get a good sleep the night before donating blood and avoid strenuous exercise. After donating blood, you should pay proper attention to rest and avoid strenuous activities. For some people who feel tired, the feeling will disappear quickly as long as they get enough sleep.

Case 5: Within 1-2 days after donating blood, increase the amount of water you drink appropriately, and pay attention to adding some high-protein and easily digestible foods, and avoid overeating. If any adverse reactions occur after donating blood, you should contact the blood collection unit for timely visit and treatment. In case 6 , after blood collection, the blood donor should take a short rest at the blood collection site or nearby, and should not get up in a hurry to prevent the occurrence of transient cerebral ischemia. At the same time, press the sterilized cotton ball on the needle hole to prevent bleeding from the needle hole or subcutaneous bruising. On the day after donating blood, pay attention to the cleanliness of the puncture needle hole. It is better to take a shower to prevent infection. Situation 7: If you have a cold, fever, diarrhea or other discomfort within one week before donating blood, or if you are a lesbian during your menstrual period, you should postpone donating blood. Those who are donating blood for the first time can read some blood donation promotional materials and learn some blood physiology knowledge to relieve psychological pressure and reduce the chance of blood donation reactions. In case eight , during the blood drawing process, relax your whole body, keep a happy mood, feel a sense of honor, stay quiet, and avoid skin and muscle contraction that may affect needle insertion and cause excessive pain. During the blood collection process, you should distract yourself by thinking about other things, chatting with the blood collection nurse, reading some magazines or watching TV, etc. It usually takes 3 to 5 minutes to complete. If you experience panic, shortness of breath, cold sweats, dry mouth, etc. during the blood collection process, you should tell the blood collection nurse or circulating doctor so that appropriate measures can be taken. Case 9: Some blood donors may have cyanosis at the puncture site due to improper pressing, etc. This is because a small amount of blood has seeped out of the skin. Local cold compress can be applied within 24 hours. Hot compress can be used after 24 hours if necessary to promote disappearance. Depending on the extent of the cyanosis, it will gradually disappear in about a week.
