What is meant by menstruation?

Menstruation refers to a woman's menstrual cycle. Menstruation is a periodic shedding and bleeding of the endometrium, which occurs along with the periodic changes of the ovaries. The occurrence of menstruation is an important physiological phenomenon in women's reproductive period, and regular menstruation is an important sign of the maturity of women's reproductive function. The normal menstrual cycle for women is 28-30 days.

Precautions during menstruation:

1. Keep the vulva area clean and hygienic. Wash the vulva daily with clean water.

2. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation. Choose quality sanitary napkins during menstruation. Replace sanitary napkins frequently. When using sanitary napkins, if there are allergic symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling, stop using them immediately. After discontinuation, the skin can generally return to normal.

3. During menstruation, women often experience certain physical discomforts, such as emotional distress, irritability, or depression, which can also affect menstruation. Therefore, it is important to maintain a pleasant mood, self-regulate emotions, and relieve menstrual discomfort.

4. Pay attention to getting plenty of rest and maintaining sufficient sleep during menstruation. Keep warm and avoid intense physical activities and heavy labor. Instead, engage in relaxing activities such as walking after meals.
