Many women choose to wear tight underwear when they have their period, because it can not only cultivate their self-cultivation, but also avoid the embarrassment of side leakage. However, experts warn that this practice will lay a hidden danger to health, and it is best for women to wear slightly loose underwear during menstruation.
Excessive abdominal girdling will not only affect blood circulation, respiratory and digestive functions, but also produce gynecological diseases. Especially during the menstrual period, too many corsets are easy to make menstrual blood flow smoothly, and also make the pressure of pelvic cavity and abdominal cavity suddenly change when it is taken off, which leads to menstrual blood reflux and symptoms of menstrual back pain and abdominal pain.
In addition, women's menstrual body resistance decreases, and too tight clothes will make some germs multiply and invade, leading to the occurrence or recurrence of vulvovaginitis. Therefore, it is best for women not to wear tight underwear during menstruation. They should try to wear some breathable cotton underwear and slightly loose underwear, and change them frequently to keep them dry and hygienic.
It is best not to wear underwear during menstruation.
Gynecological experts remind that underwear worn during menstruation should not be worn at ordinary times. Because the adhesive behind sanitary napkins will affect women's health. Just like when the adhesive tape is torn off from glass, paper and cloth, it will still leave a sticky glue, which is difficult to remove. When the sanitary towel is torn off, the glue of the sanitary towel will remain on the inside of the underwear and rub your private parts.
At present, sanitary napkins used by women in China are mostly industrial viscose, not "food-grade" viscose. This is not just a standard difference. Strictly speaking, industrial viscose cannot directly contact the skin, especially the delicate skin of sensitive parts of women.
Although it is still uncertain whether this glue is a harmful chemical, there is no conclusive epidemiological survey data to prove whether this glue is the reason for the increase of pudendal diseases in young women in recent years. However, whether the glue itself will cause disease or not, this glue is invisible to the naked eye. After a long time, some germs will be adsorbed on underwear, which cannot be removed by cleaning and sun exposure alone. If it is some sanitary napkins with poor quality, it will leave a sticky layer on the underwear, which can be touched by hand.
Four principles for women to use sanitary napkins during menstruation.
Four principles of using sanitary napkins during menstruation
Experts told us: "The cleanliness of menstrual products is particularly important. Because the pelvic cavity, uterus, cervix, vagina and the external environment are all connected, this structure makes the female reproductive system particularly vulnerable to external pathogens, especially during menstruation, the resistance of reproductive organs decreases and becomes more fragile than usual. If unqualified sanitary napkins are used, they are particularly susceptible to infection.
Expert advice: Try to choose products from reputable manufacturers in big shopping malls, and carefully check the hygiene license number, anti-counterfeiting mark and shelf life on the outer packaging-but this is only the most basic.
Code 1: change, be more diligent.
Experts said: "menstrual blood is rich in nutrients and can easily become a' culture medium' for bacterial growth. Therefore, sanitary napkins must be changed frequently.
There are two wrong ways:
1, using a sanitary towel with strong absorption and good protection function, I think it doesn't matter if I use the same sanitary towel for a long time;
2. Forget to change it when the menstrual flow is small.
There is a survey: Japanese women change their menstrual period six times a day on average, while women in China change it three times. As Asians, there should not be much difference in physical fitness, while the overall menstrual flow of women in China should be larger, because the proportion of using intrauterine contraceptive rings is high.
Please remember when using sanitary napkins:
1, change every two hours;
2. Use medical sanitary napkins with caution to prevent allergies;
3. Be sure to wash your hands before unpacking sanitary napkins;
Rule 2: Use medical sanitary napkins with caution, especially for women with allergies.
Sanitary napkins from regular manufacturers, the raw materials are specially tested for safety and have been used for many years. If we have allergies, it is usually because of our physical problems-the same reason that some people are allergic to shrimps and crabs.
"Sanitary napkin allergy is not a trivial matter.
The only way to prevent allergies is to avoid allergens, so once you feel irritated, itchy and uncomfortable, stop using this sanitary towel immediately, and it is best to find out the ingredients that cause allergies (the most common is the essence in sanitary napkins). Do not use sanitary napkins containing the same ingredients.
Experts suggest: "people with sensitive skin should use less dry nets and more cotton nets." Dry mesh absorbs quickly, but cotton mesh is softer and more comfortable and less irritating to the skin. In addition, allergies are more likely to occur in summer, because moisture accumulates locally, so it is more important to pay attention to frequent replacement.
Rule 3: It is best to change sanitary napkins every two hours.
Miss Zhang has been using tampons, mainly for cleanliness. She can't stand the smell of menstrual blood on sanitary napkins. In fact, menstrual blood doesn't smell when it just comes out, but it is oxidized when it comes into contact with air, and this smell is produced when several chemicals are mixed together.
Of course, the way to overcome it is to choose products with good breathability and change them frequently. Experts also suggest that you should not eat high-fat and high-calorie foods during menstruation, and you should use fruits, vegetables and beans instead. A light diet will refresh you.
Rule 4: Keep a distance from sanitary napkins.
Before and after menstruation, sanitary napkins are a convenient, practical and clean choice when it is inconvenient to take a bath when traveling or traveling. But experts believe: "Sanitary napkins should not be used from time to time.
The skin structure of pudendal region is similar to that of lips. In medicine, if the lips are damaged, smart plastic surgeons can transplant pudendal skin to rebuild. For the skin in these two places, the ideal environment is-neither too dry nor too wet. Think about it, do we always wrap our lips?
"Delicate skin needs a very breathable environment. If the seal is too tight, moisture will accumulate, which will easily breed germs and cause various health problems. The most ideal product is high-top cotton underwear, which needs to be changed every day; If you use sanitary napkins, don't forget to choose products with good breathability.
Experts also specifically told: "If there are more leucorrhea, the color is yellow or bloody, and there is an odor, it may be due to diseases such as vaginal inflammation. At this time, the best way is not to use sanitary napkins, but to go to gynecology as soon as possible.
When using a tampon, it is inserted into the vagina, which has the function of strongly absorbing menstrual blood. The use of tampons in clothes will not be affected, and it is more convenient to move and exercise, so more European and American women use them.
