What should I do when my husband is on his period?

Adult women will have menstruation every month until they reach menopause. Women should take good care of their bodies during menstruation, not overwork, not eat spicy food, raw or cold food, keep warm, maintain a good mood, and eat some warm and nourishing food to be good for the body. Some women have sex during menstruation. I don’t know if this has any impact on the body. What should my husband do during menstruation? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What does my husband want to do during his menstrual period?

Many patients have raised the question of whether they can have sex during menstruation. During the menstrual period, we mainly promote the excretion of menstrual blood. We do not advocate having sex during the menstrual period. Having sex during the menstrual period increases the chance of vaginal retrograde infection. In addition, exercising during this period will also cause increased retrograde flow of menstrual blood. Patients may develop pelvic inflammation and pelvic endometriosis. Therefore, we do not recommend having sex during the menstrual period.

2. Will having sex during menstruation lead to pregnancy?

Generally speaking, the menstrual period is the first few days of the menstrual cycle. The chances of getting pregnant during this period are relatively low. Generally speaking, women are more likely to get pregnant around the time of ovulation. The ovulation period is 12 to 16 days before the next menstruation. Generally, the three days before and after ovulation, the three days before ovulation to one or two days after ovulation is a period when it is easier to conceive. After the egg is released, it can survive for 12 to 30 hours. When the male sperm is taken into the vagina, most of the sperm, 90%, die within a few hours. Most of them can survive for 8 hours. If the sperm enters the uterus, they can survive for 6 hours. The sperm that enters the fallopian tube can even survive for three days. Therefore, during this period, the chance of pregnancy is relatively high when having sex during ovulation. What about during the menstrual period? Women do not ovulate, so the chance of pregnancy is relatively low when having sex at this time, but it is not absolutely safe. Because some patients may have extra ovulation, we recommend not having sex during this period. One reason is that it may stimulate infection and easily cause some stimulating diseases. Some patients say that it will reduce the chance of pregnancy during this period. However, nothing is absolutely safe. So during this period, there are some individual cases. We have also seen individual patients who became pregnant on the fourth day of their menstrual period or when their menstrual period was just a little lighter. It's just a matter of relative probability.

3. What should you pay attention to during menstruation?

Women have menstruation every month. If we have menstrual bleeding during menstruation, we women should pay attention to the following aspects.

1. We must pay attention to hygiene during menstruation. During menstruation, because blood is the best breeding ground for bacteria, it is important for women to pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva during menstruation. Then, sanitary napkins should be changed frequently to avoid infection. Another important thing is to avoid having sex during menstruation, because during sex, the male semen is in a relatively alkaline environment, which will increase the chance of infection, so it is a matter of paying attention to hygiene.

2. During the menstrual period, as we are talking about traditional Chinese medicine, coldness causes condensation and heat causes movement, so during the menstrual period, we should try to focus on warming the body. Don't get too cold during the menstrual period. We should pay attention to keeping warm, especially during the summer solstice. Traditional Chinese medicine has always said that coldness rises from the feet, so it is extremely important to keep warm during the menstrual period. Otherwise, many girls will often experience dysmenorrhea due to being too cold, eating too much cold food, or wading in the rain.

3. Pay attention to your diet during menstruation. As I just said, one thing you need to do during menstruation is to keep warm, so you should avoid eating cold foods such as seafood and cold drinks.

In addition, because there is a certain amount of blood loss during each menstrual period, this blood loss can be recovered naturally in a short period of time. So we must pay attention to our diet during menstruation and eat nutritious, protein-rich foods regularly, and provide sufficient iron supplements. For example, eat more meat, fish, fresh vegetables, and fruits. But pay attention to the food must be warm, that is, it must be warm, do not eat cold food. Also, exercise during menstruation. We say that menstrual blood will flow freely during menstruation. If you exercise too vigorously, it will cause excessive loss of qi and blood. It may also cause excessive consumption of qi, resulting in qi failure to retain blood, which will lead to heavy menstrual flow. Even if you exercise too vigorously during your menstrual period, it may cause some menstrual blood reflux in Western medicine, which may stimulate some endometriosis. From a hygiene perspective, during your menstrual period, we should pay attention to keeping warm, as well as pay attention to the usual precautions in diet and exercise.
