What should be noted in terms of hygiene and diet during the first menstrual period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During menstruation, it is best to avoid strenuous physical activities such as long-distance cycling and running to prevent excessive fatigue and a decline in immunity. It is recommended to frequently clean the external genital area, avoid masturbation, and ensure adequate rest with sufficient sleep. Consume nutritious and easily digestible meals, avoid contact with cold water, and pay attention to keeping warm. It is advisable not to participate in activities such as swimming.
