Patient's question:
Hello doctor! May I ask if it's okay to touch cold water during the menstrual period? Is it due to excessive fatigue? What details should be noted? Thank you!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's important to pay attention to hygiene during your menstrual period:(1) Change your menstrual pad frequently.
(2) Wash your external genitalia with warm water every day. Avoid tub baths to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection.
(3) After using the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid transferring bacteria from the anus to the external genitalia.
(4) Eat less raw, cold, or irritating foods, such as chili peppers and alcohol.
(5) Drink plenty of warm water to keep your bowels moving smoothly.
(6) Ensure you get enough sleep.
(7) Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor to prevent pelvic congestion, which may lead to excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged periods and affect your health.
(8) Avoid getting cold, especially avoid cold baths, washing your feet with cold water, or sitting on cold surfaces, as exposure to cold can cause blood vessels to constrict and lead to menstrual cramps.
(9) Maintain a positive and stable mood.
