Mouth ulcers before menstruation

Menstruation is something that all women will experience. In addition to its own characteristics, some women may also experience abdominal pain, and some may even feel abnormally irritable during their period. Therefore, women during their menstrual period must be taken extra care of. It is said that girls have a hard time during their menstrual period. There is a problem in life, that is, mouth ulcers before menstruation. This can be said to be the arrival of internal heat and heart fire. So how should we deal with this problem specifically? Please read the following.

1. What to do if you have mouth ulcers before menstruation

First, pay more attention to rest. Before menstruation, some girlfriends must pay more attention, maintain good sleep quality, adjust their life patterns, and never work overtime or stay up late for a long time, because they will affect their physical health, so it is easy to get mouth ulcers.

Second, adjust your diet. If female friends find that they have symptoms of mouth ulcers before menstruation, they should adjust their diet in time. Never eat spicy and greasy foods. Also, do not drink alcohol, eat eggs or beef. You should choose some vegetables and fruits with higher nutritional value to facilitate the body's digestion and absorption.

Third, the method of drug treatment. If mouth ulcers occur for a long time before menstruation, you can go to a professional hospital and choose some medication for treatment according to the doctor's instructions. This treatment method is very effective and is usually used as a reference. However, you must use the medicine strictly when taking it and never use it blindly.

Fourth, increase exercise appropriately. Some female friends are under great pressure at work. The long-term, fast-paced work has a great impact on their bodies. Moreover, the lack of exercise and failure to pay much attention before menstruation can easily lead to mouth ulcers. Therefore, they must increase exercise appropriately.

These methods are all very effective. I hope you can pay more attention and choose the appropriate method to treat them. Also, you should change your bad lifestyle, pay attention to your personal hygiene, do a good job of care before menstruation, and pay more attention to rest.

2. Taboos during menstruation

1. Avoid strenuous exercise

You can do some exercise during your menstrual period, which will be good for your body, but you must avoid strenuous exercise. Vigorous exercise during menstruation, such as high jump, long jump, running, playing football, etc., can induce or aggravate general discomfort during menstruation, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. Some strength exercises that increase abdominal pressure, such as weightlifting and dumbbells, should also be avoided as much as possible, otherwise they will cause excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation.

2. Avoid dyeing your hair

Studies have shown that bleaching agents and para-dyes in hair dyes may be linked to bladder cancer, blood cancer, and endometrial cancer. Although the carcinogenicity of hair dyes has not yet been determined, because there are more than 100,000 pores on the scalp, these chemicals are absorbed very quickly. Especially when women are menstruating, the body's resistance is weakest. During this period, you should avoid dyeing your hair to prevent adverse changes in cells.

3. Avoid pulling teeth

Tooth extraction during menstruation not only increases the amount of bleeding, but also leaves a bloody smell in the mouth for a long time afterwards, affecting appetite and leading to malnutrition during menstruation. This is because during menstruation, the endometrium releases more tissue activating substances, which activate the plasminogen in the blood into plasmin with anticoagulant effects. At the same time, the number of platelets in the body also decreases, so the body's coagulation ability is reduced and the hemostasis time is prolonged.

4. Avoid wearing tight clothing

We like to wear tight clothes during menstruation, thinking that this can not only avoid the embarrassment of side leakage, but also relieve abdominal pain. In fact, this is unscientific. A large proportion of gynecological diseases are caused by wearing tight underwear. Endometriosis is a disease with a high incidence rate currently. One of the causes of the disease is the backflow of menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity causing endometriosis. The most common problems for patients are dysmenorrhea and infertility.

5. Avoid hot springs

Women should not take a hot spring bath during their menstrual period or within 4 days before and after. The cervix is ​​open during menstruation, and the body's resistance is low, which can easily cause infection. Hot spring water is not sterile. If you take a hot spring bath during this period, the bacteria in the hot spring may invade the human body and cause infection.

Using tampons does not keep things fresh, because tampons absorb water. When a tampon is inserted during menstruation, it comes into close contact with the female private parts. So taking a hot spring bath will increase the chance of infection in the female private parts.

6. Avoid eating raw, cold, or spicy food

If you eat raw or cold food during menstruation, blood will flow to the stomach and intestines, affecting blood circulation near the uterus, and in severe cases it can cause dysmenorrhea. Moreover, eating ice during ovulation will lower the temperature of the endometrium, which can easily cause menstrual disorders, irregular menstruation, and even uterine cold, greatly increasing the chance of infertility.

In addition, spicy food should also be avoided. Because spicy and other hot foods can also affect menstrual blood. When the blood is hot, it will flow wildly, causing excessive menstrual bleeding and bright red blood. Over time, it will cause anemia.

7. Avoid taking excessive medication

Many people mistakenly believe that they lose a lot of blood during menstruation, so they want to replenish their blood. In fact, adding rice wine to medicinal foods to help blood circulation, or Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis will cause an increase in menstrual blood volume. Therefore, taking tonic medicine during menstruation is the wrong time. The correct golden period for taking tonic medicine is one week after the end of menstruation, before ovulation, when the body's metabolic rate speeds up and tonic medicine can be most effective at this time. Even the well-known Siwu Decoction can only be consumed after menstruation.

8. Avoid excessive sexual activity

You cannot have sex during menstruation, first of all to prevent reproductive system infection. Because when menstruation comes, the endometrium (the layer of tissue inside the uterus) peels off piece by piece. During menstruation, it is easy to bring germs from the vulva and perineum (the area between the female private parts and the anus) into the female private parts, cervix and even the uterus. Bacteria grow and multiply in places with blood, causing inflammation on the spot, called endometritis. Not only will there be fever and lower abdominal pain, but also increased menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation.
