How to do a good job of health care during female physiological period. Let's take a look!

1, knowledge of menstrual health care for women

1. Is menstrual blood unclean?

Due to the influence of old ideas, some people still think that menstrual blood is dirty blood, and excessive bleeding will not affect health. This is a very wrong view. Menstruation is the result of periodic shedding of endometrium. The uterus is a unique organ of women, which is mainly composed of muscles. There is a protective film called the uterine adventitia, with a thick muscle layer in the middle and an intima filled with blood vessels inside. The endometrium thickens every month to welcome fertilized eggs. If you are not pregnant, the endometrium will degenerate, fall off and bleed. At this time, the unfertilized eggs and endometrium will be excreted together, which is menstruation.

The amount of menstrual bleeding is closely related to genetic and environmental factors, so there is no certain standard. Generally, the amount of bleeding is about 60 ml. If the amount of bleeding exceeds 100ml each time, it can be diagnosed as menorrhagia. Long-term menorrhagia can cause anemia, dizziness, palpitation, fatigue and other symptoms. The most common clinical menorrhagia is functional uterine bleeding, which is caused by neuroendocrine disorder. In adolescence and menopause, most of them are anovulatory uterine bleeding. The main manifestations are amenorrhea for a period of time before bleeding, followed by massive bleeding, or continuous bleeding for several days or even dozens of days. Most of the causes of adolescent functional bleeding are due to the fact that the endocrine system of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary is not fully developed and mature, and it is impossible to establish a regular ovulation cycle. Mental stimulation, environmental climate change and malnutrition may all induce uterine functional bleeding. Menopause is a dysfunctional uterine bleeding caused by the failure of ovarian function to form normal ovulation. If the above situation occurs, you must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding in adolescence can be treated with sex hormones or traditional Chinese medicine. Menopause should be examined in detail to exclude organic diseases. Don't think that if you bleed too much, you will be fine, which will delay the diagnosis and treatment.

Why don't you come back after the holiday?

Entering senior three, intense study and various pressures make Xiaowen feel like the eve of a decisive battle, and the "friend" who will come every month has not seen information for three months. My mother bought China black-bone chicken essence and other tonics for her, and there was no response after taking them. Let's ask the doctor to see what's wrong. After careful examination, it was diagnosed as amenorrhea due to excessive mental stress.

It turns out that normal menstruation is not only controlled by the ovary, but also depends on the normal function and coordination of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary in a special system. Their supreme commander is the central nervous system, and many factors can affect the function of the central nervous system, causing hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary imbalance and amenorrhea. Strong mental stimulation, high mental tension and excessive fatigue will inhibit the central nervous system and cause amenorrhea. Due to the immature ovarian development of adolescent girls, when encountering the above external factors, it is easy to cause menstrual disorder or even amenorrhea. When people with unstable nervous system are affected by mental factors, the incidence of amenorrhea is also higher than that of ordinary people. There is no need to panic and worry too much about this amenorrhea, which will only make amenorrhea last longer, and there is no need to take nutritional supplements, because it is not caused by lack of nutrition, and taking too many supplements is harmful. The best treatment is to eliminate tension and learn to relax and rest, so that the function of the cerebral cortex can return to normal and the moon will naturally come as scheduled.

3. Why do you want to inject progesterone?

When women have amenorrhea, doctors often need to do some auxiliary diagnosis besides asking the patient about the medical history and physical examination that may cause amenorrhea. Intramuscular injection of progesterone is a simple and effective method for the initial diagnosis of amenorrhea. Generally speaking, progesterone 20 mg, daily 1 time, intramuscular injection for ***3 days; Or progesterone 10 mg, 1 time per day, ***5 days. Drug withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 1 week after drug withdrawal, which is medically called drug withdrawal bleeding, but some patients take longer. Amenorrhea has a long elbow and a large amount of bleeding during amenorrhea. What is its significance?

If there is menstruation (withdrawal bleeding) after progesterone injection, it means: ① The uterus is normal and the endometrial reaction is normal. ② There is a certain amount of estrogen secretion in the ovary, which makes the endometrium proliferate. ③ The functions of central nervous system, hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary have been basically established, but ovulation is not yet possible, such as immature hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis and polycystic ovary syndrome in some amenorrhea patients.

If progesterone injection does not cause menstruation (except physiological pregnancy, etc.) ), which means: ① The uterus may be abnormal. ② The ovarian estrogen secretion is insufficient, which can not make the endometrium proliferate, and can not shed and bleed. ③ Pseudoamenorrhea caused by congenital atresia of cervix and female private parts. What is the reason? Further examination is needed to determine.

2, women's menstrual taboo

1, avoid hitting the waist during menstruation

During menstruation, women will feel slight discomfort due to pelvic congestion, such as back pain, calf or lower abdomen swelling, breast pain, increased defecation times, diarrhea, constipation and so on. These are normal physiological phenomena during menstruation and generally do not need treatment. However, at this time, if you beat your back hard at will, it will often aggravate your back pain. Because beating the back will aggravate pelvic congestion and accelerate blood flow, leading to menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation, thus aggravating back pain.

2. Avoid excessive use of perfume

Women like perfume, but too strong fragrance can also lead to diseases. Aroma is good at escaping, especially perfume with artificial fragrance. Although it simulates natural floral fragrance, the concentration of fragrance molecules greatly exceeds the concentration secreted by natural floral fragrance because of the use of chemical essence, and some unpredictable chemical reactions are likely to have adverse effects on human respiratory tract, skin and central nervous system. Some people will have many uncomfortable symptoms such as dizziness and nausea after smelling too strong fragrance.

3. Avoid eating more vegetable oil.

It is known that eating more animal fat is harmful to health. In fact, eating more vegetable oil is not good for health, especially for women. Medical experiments have proved that vegetable oil is more easily absorbed by human body than animal oil and forms more heat in the body. Women who like fried food are usually prone to gain weight and suffer from breast cancer and colon cancer. Because unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil can promote the occurrence of breast cancer, too much unsaturated fatty acids make bile secrete too much, and the metabolites of bile acids have carcinogenic effects, so excessive intake of vegetable oil may also cause colon cancer.

4. Avoid wearing pointed shoes.

Cute, beautiful and fashionable pointed shoes will not only make your slim feet corny, but also put you on the operating table for corrective surgery! Because pointed shoes have the visual function of prolonging the proportion of legs, many urban women who love beauty are eager for them. However, orthopedic surgeons pointed out that wearing pointed shoes for a long time may lead to "corns" and even foot deformities. The toe of pointed shoes is narrow and flat, which has the defect of hurting feet in design, and it is easy to wear them for a long time. The mutual squeezing of toes may lead to the collapse of the "horizontal arch" and "middle arch" of the foot, and even lead to toe deformation and toe overlap. Especially women under the age of 23 are more likely to be "recruited".

3, menstrual food regulation

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, regulating the negative emotions of women in premenstrual and menopause should start with soothing the liver, strengthening the spleen and regulating qi. Here are some home-cooked dishes:

Lotus root: Lotus root can ventilate, strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, and is also a good product for invigorating qi. Boiling lotus root with clear water or boiling lotus root porridge is the best.

Radish: Good at invigorating stomach, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm. Green radish has the best curative effect, followed by red skin and white heart. For women with cold stomach, stewed radish soup such as ribs and beef can be added.

Hawthorn: Good at promoting blood circulation, promoting digestion, and reducing weight and fat. Whether eaten raw, cooked or soaked in water, all kinds of eating methods are effective. But it should be eaten in moderation, and women with hyperacidity should use it with caution.

Roses: Roses have the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi, calming the heart and calming the nerves. Putting a few petals of roses when making tea not only has a smooth effect, but also is very eye-catching.

Fennel: Fennel fruit is used as medicine and its tender leaves are edible. Both seeds and leaves have the function of regulating qi. Cooking stuffing or cooking with leaves can regulate qi, strengthen stomach and relieve pain.

Citrus: Citrus not only tastes sweet, but also has the function of promoting qi circulation and broadening chest. In addition to pulp, orange collaterals also have certain medicinal value. Orange collaterals can dredge collaterals, eliminate phlegm, regulate qi and eliminate stagnation.

4, menstrual diet matters

1. The diet one week before menstruation should be light, digestible and nutritious. You can eat more high-protein foods such as beans and fish, increase green leafy vegetables and fruits, drink more water, keep your stool unobstructed and reduce pelvic congestion.

2, when menstrual cramps, don't deliberately eat sweets. Such as drinks, cakes, brown sugar and sweets. Prevent blood sugar instability and avoid aggravating various discomforts during menstruation.

3. Eat more high-fiber foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, whole wheat flour, brown rice, oats and other foods. Eating enough high-fiber food can promote the excretion of estrogen, increase the content of magnesium in blood, regulate menstruation and calm nerves.

Eat some foods rich in vitamin B between meals, such as walnuts, cashews and dried beans.

5. Take enough protein. You can eat white meat and eggs; And eat more tofu and soybean plant protein to supplement the nutrients lost during menstruation.

6. Eat regularly and quantitatively. It can prevent blood sugar from rising and falling, reduce heartbeat and relieve dizziness, fatigue and emotional instability.

7. Avoid caffeinated drinks, such as coffee and tea, because these drinks will increase anxiety and anxiety. You can drink barley tea and mint tea instead.

The above are some foods that female friends during menstruation are advised to eat more and some foods that must be eaten less during menstruation. As long as we pay attention to these details, I believe that the problem of dysmenorrhea can be greatly improved.
