Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. I'd like to ask if playing in cold water during menstruation will have any impact in the future.Doctor's answer:
1, Pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia. During menstruation, use warm water to clean the external genitalia every day. When taking a bath, avoid tub baths; it is best to use a shower to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing inflammation.2, Sexual activity is absolutely forbidden during menstruation because it can easily introduce bacteria into the vagina, leading to inflammation. It can also cause excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstrual periods.
3, During menstruation, ensure adequate sleep, eat fewer raw and cold foods, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Also, be mindful of avoiding cold exposure and getting caught in the rain.
4, Although menstruation may cause some discomfort, you can still work, study, and engage in general household chores. However, avoid overly strenuous activities and prolonged stays in damp places.
