Menstruation - Causes, symptoms and treatment. MF.

If we take into account that the modern men's menstrual function is included after 11 years and stops in the sixth decade, on average, for a lifetime, "runs" about 8 years of continuous critical days. Let's try to live them with maximum comfort!

Behavior during menstruation

Do not consider a monthly reason for canceling a fitness club or an intimate meeting? In vain. Modern means of feminine hygiene are not invented in order to continue to lead a superactive life, swimming in the pool and even having sex with a tampon in the vagina, although some find it very convenient;
Allow yourself to relax and "cheer" at least for the sake of preventing such an unpleasant and very common disease, like endometriosis. His connection with menstruation is proven.

During critical days, menstrual blood enters through the fallopian tubes into the abdominal cavity. Together with it, fragments of the endometrium can also get caught, and live on and continue to lead the same "lifestyle" as in the uterus, passing through all the stages of the monthly cycle, up to the supposed menstruation. When the time comes to allocate blood, it accumulates in a confined space, the reaction of tissues begins, the formation of nodules. Affected may be the uterus, and the tubes, and the ovaries, and even other organs. Although the latter is rare - the further the organ from the uterus, the unlikely the "shot" of the endometrium. True, this is not all at all, but who among us has never been ill with anything, has not caught a clump of the appendages or was not subjected to any intrauterine procedure?

These are all risk factors. More than half of the ladies, alas, have endometriosis at one or another stage. Its development provokes any overload during the period. Try to move less at this time. Exclude sports, assign homework like washing the floors to one of the relatives, do not run after the trolley bus and do not bully your legs unless absolutely necessary. Even on critical days, you feel like five points - the body still continues to work, getting rid of the "spent material."For the same reasons, try not to use tampons at least on days of greatest bleeding.

Hygiene during menstruation

Most beautiful women know how to keep secluded body parts clean, but often do so with soap, tap water and syringes.

We do not use the special means for intimate hygiene. But soap and chlorinated water destroy the natural microflora of the vagina and completely deprive them of protection from bacteria. It is proved that a woman with a healthy vaginal mucosa even has less risk of contracting AIDS: one for 150 contacts!

The most common cause of acid-base balance in the vagina is getting into it during soap bubbles. Do not be scared if this happens once. But constant alkaline "strokes" lead to serious disturbances of microflora and, accordingly, to dysbiosis.

In about half the cases, the first symptom of dysbiosis is an unpleasant "fishy" smell, not eliminated by any home remedies. But dysbiosis for the time being may not smell, except that the usual daily discharge will become slightly more abundant.

Gynecologists say that a simple procedure of undergoing washing, especially during menstruation, must be carried out according to certain rules:

• wash with warm water with cleanly washed hands at least 2 times a day in the direction from the pubic back. Use for this purpose only intimate gels with plant extracts, which do not cause dryness and irritation, refresh and eliminate odor. Look for a gel with bitter almond oil. Even in ancient times, women knew that its aroma neutralizes unpleasant intimate smells. Soap can only be washed around the skin around;
• Do not direct a strong jet of water into the vagina. It not only flushes the protective grease, but also facilitates the entry of harmful bacteria into the uterus, increasing the risk of inflammation;
• sponges and wipes you absolutely do not need. They can cause microscopic scratches on the delicate and sensitive skin. For the same reason, do not wipe off moisture after washing, but use a soft towel to soak it.
