Patient's question:
What should a girl do during her period? A colleague's girlfriend is having her period and says she feels very uncomfortable. The colleague doesn't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to vulvar hygiene. During menstruation, women should clean their vulva daily with warm water. Avoid tub baths; it is better to use a shower to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing inflammation. Women should absolutely avoid sexual activity during menstruation because sexual intercourse can easily introduce bacteria into the vagina, leading to inflammation, as well as causing heavier menstrual flow and prolonged periods.3. Women should get adequate sleep during menstruation, eat less raw, cold, frozen, or spicy and irritating foods, and avoid getting cold or getting caught in the rain.
