What should women pay attention to when their lower abdomen bulges during menstruation?

Women have a period of time every month when their endometrium sheds, which is mainly manifested by symptoms such as blood discharge from the vagina, fatigue, and discomfort in the lower abdomen. This is the menstrual phenomenon, which is a relatively normal physiological phenomenon for women. However, some women will experience abnormal physical conditions during menstruation. Therefore, they need to pay attention to various things in their lives. Let’s take a look at what women should pay attention to when their lower abdomen bulges during menstruation?

During menstruation, the pelvic cavity will become congested and there will be a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen. The progesterone level in the body reaches its peak, and the water and sodium retention in the body also reaches its peak. Therefore, the lower abdomen will be bloated and painful before menstruation and on the first day of menstruation. Generally, it will return to normal on the second day of menstruation.

Precautions during menstruation:

1. Menstrual blood can easily breed bacteria, so during menstruation, you should pay more attention to local cleaning. However, you cannot use any shower gel, soap or lotion. Just use warm water to prevent the chemical ingredients from reducing the local ability to resist bacteria.

2. You must not have sex during menstruation, because the local resistance to bacteria decreases at this time. Sexual intercourse is likely to lead to more invasion of external bacteria, and even ascend to affect the pelvic cavity, fallopian tubes, etc., causing gynecological diseases.

3. When purchasing sanitary napkins, be sure to check the health license, QS certification, manufacturer information and basic product information. Do not buy unfamiliar or unknown brands. The media has previously exposed cases of people suffering from gynecological diseases due to the use of substandard sanitary napkins, so be sure to choose a trustworthy brand.

4. During menstruation, you may experience a feeling of heaviness and distension in the waist and abdomen . At this time, do not beat your waist. This practice will not only fail to relieve the pain, but will make the pelvic congestion worse.

5. Do not drink coffee, strong tea, or even alcohol during menstruation, otherwise these stimulants will aggravate the discomfort during menstruation. The diet should also be light and avoid spicy food.
