What should girls pay attention to when they have their first period?

1. Drink a cup of hot brown sugar ginger water, or rest in a prone position, or put a hot water bottle on your lower abdomen. First of all, pay attention to menstrual hygiene. Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently because accumulated blood stains can irritate the skin of the genitals and cause inflammation, and can cause bacteria to multiply and cause infection. When going out during menstruation, carry sanitary napkins with you as a backup.

2. Rinse the vulva with clean warm water every day. Wash with water from the front, not from the back to the front, so as not to bring dirt or bacteria near the anus into the vaginal opening. Never take a sitz bath in the tub or swim.

3. If you feel abdominal pain during menstruation, you can drink brown sugar ginger water.

4. Do not do strenuous exercise during menstruation. Vigorous exercise or heavy physical labor will speed up blood circulation in the lower body, thereby aggravating congestion of pelvic organs. In mild cases, it can easily cause excessive menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and physical weakness. In severe cases, it may leave gynecological diseases and affect lifelong.
