How to maintain during the menstrual period

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It's best not to wash your hair during your period. I'm not sure if there's any scientific basis for it, but I think it's better to avoid washing if possible. It's not going to cause any harm anyway. Also, it's definitely a no-no to eat spicy or cold foods. Avoid heavy physical labor, and it's a good idea to wash the external genital area with warm water once a day.
