Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid During The Periods
Mistake 1
Always change your pad every 4-5hours.
There are many females, especially those with scanty periods, think as their
flow is less, so they don't need to change their pad frequently and keep
wearing the same pad for around 8-10hours. So such ladies need to understand either
the flow is less or more, still they "SHOULD" change their pad after
every 4-5hours, because as long as your pad is in your hands or in the box, it
is harmless. And as soon as it incorporates with your body, and comes in
contact with some liquid, chemicals in that pad start spreading harmful
bacteria giving rise to numerous infections. Especially those females or teenagers who are experiencing menstruation
for the 1st time, "Listen to girls, either your pad is clean or not, you need
to change it after every 4-5hours, this is the first mistake to avoid in periods.
Mistake 2
Keep your private area dry. Let me
clarify here, it is just a MYTH that one can not wash her private area off
during periods. It's absolutely UNTRUE. Cleanliness and body hygiene should be
your first and foremost duty, and to cleanse yourself properly, you need water.
So, always wash yourself off with water but always use lukewarm water for
washing and then pat yourself dry. Always remember, Wet body parts give rise
to humidity which in return welcomes many bacterial and fungal infections,
rashes, or any form of skin allergy or skin disease. So, it is recommended to
always wash and pat dry your body especially your "lady parts".
Mistake 3
Be very careful with the fabric of your
undergarments. Always wear cotton patties, especially during summers or your
period days, In case, if you use undergarments made of silk or any other fabric, your private area won't get any
oxygen giving a ride to humidity which causes infections, skin allergies and skin
rashes. While if you use cotton panties, your body will get enough quantity of
oxygen, it needs.
Mistake 4
You shouldn't take any medicine during
your menstruation days. Our elders
(in South East Asian countries) always forbade us to take any medicine, no
matter how much pain u r in, and this is absolutely wrong. If you are
undergoing any menstrual pains and visit any doctor, so when you tell your
doctor about your painful periods,
he/she'll write you medicine for it. Also, discuss with your doctor that your
elders forbade us to take any medicine while on periods and my doctor confirmed
you that it's a myth and there are specific medicines available in the market for
this specific issue (menstrual pains)
Let me tell you here, you take any available painkiller, but I'd advise you to
speak to your doctor first before taking any medicine for any issue.
The next tip is if u r in pain and u don't want to
take any medicine, drink turmeric milk. Highly effective for period pains Or you may also use HOT
WATER BOTTLE on your lower belly or back or wherever u r feeling the pain.
You'd feel relieved after some time.
Mistake 5
Avoid eating "chilled" food
items during periods because, during
periods you are facing numerous issues like weakness, mood swings, pain, etc. So it is better to consume warm or hot items so that your body gets comfortable.
Mistake 6
When one is on periods, she doesn't
feel like eating anything. But this is a HUGE mistake one can ever do to her
body as our body is already tired due to pain, facing weakness due to blood
wastage, and then we don't want to eat. My question is HOW WOULD OUR BODY to GET
AN ENERGY TO SURVIVE? So, my honest advice to all is either you want to eat or
not, it doesn't matter. JUST EAT SOMETHING, either something light or can have
some juices or milk or some dry fruits.
Mistake 7
During PMSing or when in periods, one
face tremendous "never-ending" mood swings like depression, anxiety,
happiness for no reason, etc. So, to deal with this situation, keep yourself
busy in some activity. Because when you keep thinking about your extreme mood
swings, you are not doing any good to yourself. So, my advice is to avoid this mistake during periods by keeping yourself busy with something, you enjoy doing.
Mistake 8
So many women have a doubt "Can I exercise during periods"?
My answer is Yes, you can exercise during periods. In fact, I've heard those who face scanty periods, or whose
flow is less or are facing spotting issues, should exercise as it helps them to
get regular periods. should exercise as it helps them to get regular periods
with normal flow. But remember, if first 1-2days of your periods are extremely
painful, then you should avoid exercising and can opt for low to moderate pace
walk, or take complete rest. But if you are not experiencing any pain, then
you can exercise during those days.
Mistake 9
All married females who are sexually
active should avoid any "sexual intimacy" with their husbands. When
females are in her periods, numerous changes (hormonal, physical, or
psychological) are taking place in their body, psychological) are taking place
in their body, which could cause various problems to females in the form of mood
swings, anxiety, lethargies etc as well as could cause harm to your husband as
well. So, it is always better to avoid
"sexual intimacy" with each other during your period days.
