      Menstrual hygiene needs to pay attention to the following:

      1. First of all, because the mood is more impetuous during menstruation, you should stay in a happy mood and avoid mental stimulation and mood swings.

      2. Be careful not to be too tired. It is not advisable to eat cold, sour, spicy, alcoholic and other irritating foods. Drink more boiled water to keep the stool smooth, reduce pelvic congestion, and pay attention to proper rest and adequate sleep.

      3. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection: Pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia. It is not advisable to take a bath during menstruation, but you can take a shower to prevent ascending infection. The sanitary napkins used should be soft, clean, and changed frequently.

      4. Keep warm and avoid cold stimulation: such as swimming, cold bathing, going to paddy fields, etc. If you receive sudden and excessive cold stimulation during menstruation, it may cause oligomenorrhoea or menstrual bleeding. Dysmenorrhea
