Menstruation is also called monthly affairs, monthly water, monthly letter, menstrual leave, red, etc. it is called menstruation because most people appear once a month. It refers to regular and periodic uterine bleeding. Strictly speaking, with this kind of bleeding, there are follicle maturation, ovulation and luteal formation in the ovary, and there are changes from hyperplasia to secretion in the endometrium. However, in clinical practice, there is often uterine bleeding without ovulation, which is called anovulatory menstruation.
In recent years, the common name of menstruation has increased, such as bad things, great aunt, aunt, good things, bad luck and so on. The average menarche of modern women is 12.5 years old. The menopausal age is usually between 45 and 55 years old, which is related to the aging of ovulation function, the decrease of estrogen secretion and other factors. Tiangui refers to menstruation, which can be seen in ancient and modern medical system.
During menstruation, the endometrium falls off, resulting in a wound on the inner wall of the uterus. Due to the outflow of menstrual blood from the uterus, the cervix is slightly opened, which makes the bacteria very easy to invade and reproduce, resulting in infection. During menstruation, in addition to the above local changes in the uterus, which are easy to cause infection, the resistance of the whole body also decreases, so we should pay special attention to menstrual hygiene. Primary school students often do not understand menstrual hygiene when they first come to menstruation. Therefore, teachers and parents have the responsibility to timely carry out menstrual hygiene education for them and give specific guidance and help in time.
How to pay attention to menstrual hygiene
1. Correctly treat the physiological phenomenon of menstruation and eliminate the influence of feudal thought.
Many students regard menstruation as a shameful thing, regard menstrual belt as a dirty thing, and menstruation is called "bad luck". Therefore, when they encounter relevant problems, they are unwilling to talk to teachers and parents, and are embarrassed to take out the menstrual belt for cleaning and drying. In fact, menstruation is not bad luck, but a normal physiological phenomenon. It will be bad luck if you don't pay attention to menstrual hygiene. Only by overcoming these confused thoughts can we really do a good job in menstrual hygiene.
2. Pay attention to the hygiene of perineum (between anus and external genitalia).
During menstruation, scrub the perineum with clean towel and warm water every day. Don't "sit in the basin". You can take a shower, but don't take a bath. Both basin sitting and bath can make dirty water enter the slightly open cervix through the vagina and cause infection. Girls should form the habit of cleaning the perineum every day during menstruation. Use clean menstrual belt and menstrual paper instead of rags and waste paper in the perineum. Menstrual bands should be cleaned every day and dried in the sun to kill bacteria. Some girls stuff used menstrual bands into dark corners, which is very unsanitary. We should separate the basin for washing perineum from the basin for washing feet, especially when we ourselves and some people in our family suffer from tinea pedis. Otherwise, fungal vaginitis may occur.
3. Keep your body warm.
During menstruation, we should avoid cold and catch cold, and ensure enough sleep time to enhance the resistance of the whole body. General sports activities and labor can be participated in, but excessive fatigue should be avoided. Do not do strenuous exercise and carry heavy objects.
