1. Avoid emotional excitement. During menstruation, it is necessary to maintain a happy mood and emotional excitement. Depression and anger often lead to qi stagnation, which can lead to late menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, etc.
2. Avoid being too tired. Prolonged and overworked menstruation can lead to prolonged or excessive menstruation; On the contrary, excessive comfort, stagnation of qi and blood, easy to cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea. Therefore, during menstruation, attention should be paid to reasonable scheduling of work and rest, avoiding strenuous exercise and physical labor, and achieving a combination of work and rest.
3. Avoid drinking strong tea. During menstruation, one should drink plenty of boiled water rather than strong tea. Because strong tea has a high content of caffeine, it can stimulate the nerves and cardiovascular system, easily leading to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation, or excessive bleeding. At the same time, tannic acid in tea combines with iron in the intestine, causing precipitation, affecting iron absorption, and causing anemia.
4. Avoid insufficient nutrition. Due to the monthly loss of a certain amount of blood after menstruation, it is necessary to appropriately increase nutrition, especially protein, vitamins, iron, calcium, etc. During menstruation, you should eat more eggs, lean meat, fish, soy products, and fresh vegetables and fruits.
5. Avoid eating raw, cold, and spicy food. Eating too many spicy yang boosting products can lead to premature menstruation, excessive menstruation, etc; Overeating cold and raw cold food can cause dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and diarrhea. During menstruation, excessive drinking and overeating should be avoided, and it is best not to drink, smoke, or eat stimulating foods.

"If you have sex, it may bring bacteria into your body, causing inflammation of the reproductive organs, and it may also increase menstrual blood volume or prolong your menstrual period. Therefore, women should be prohibited from having sex during their menstrual period.".
7. Avoid getting cold. During menstruation, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching cold. Do not get caught in the rain, wade in water, or swim. Do not sit in damp, cool places, or at the air duct openings of air conditioners and electric fans. Do not bathe or wash your feet with cold water to avoid menstrual disorders.
8. Avoid sitz baths. Some people usually like sitz baths, but during the menstrual period, because the cervix is slightly open, sitz or tub baths can easily cause contaminated water to enter the uterine cavity, leading to genital inflammation.
9. Avoid wearing tight pants. If you wear tight pants with a small upright crotch and small hip circumference during menstruation, it can compress local capillaries, affecting blood circulation, increasing perineal friction, easily causing perineal congestion and edema, and even causing urinary and reproductive system infections.
10. Avoid speaking loudly. During menstruation, the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are congested, and the vocal cords are also congested, even swollen. Singing loudly or speaking loudly can cause fatigue in the vocal cord muscles.
