Can I use infrared light during my period?

Menstruation is a special period for women. During this period, women still need to do a lot of maintenance work, because if they do not take good care of their bodies at this time, it is likely to cause various health problems for women and affect their physical condition. During menstruation, infrared radiation has no effect on the body. However, women should avoid doing the following during menstruation.

1. Waist Beat

When we have sore waist and swollen legs, we relieve the discomfort by beating the sore muscles. Similarly, many women also habitually beat their waists to relieve sore waist during menstruation. But doing so was a mistake. Gynecologists point out that the soreness and swelling in the waist during menstruation is caused by pelvic congestion. At this time, beating the waist will cause more congestion in the pelvis, which will in turn aggravate the soreness and swelling. In addition, beating the waist during menstruation is not conducive to the repair and healing of the wound after the endometrium is exfoliated, leading to increased bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

2. Physical Examination

In addition to being unsuitable for gynecological examinations and urine tests, it is also not suitable to have blood tests, electrocardiograms and other examinations during menstruation.

Because of the influence of hormone secretion at this time, it is difficult to obtain real data.

3. Tooth extraction

I'm afraid that few dentists will ask you whether you are menstruating before extracting a tooth, but you must know that you cannot extract a tooth during your menstrual period! Otherwise, not only will the amount of bleeding increase during tooth extraction, but there will also be a bloody smell in the mouth for a long time after the tooth extraction, affecting appetite and leading to malnutrition during menstruation. This is because during menstruation, the endometrium releases more tissue activating substances, which activate the plasminogen in the blood into plasmin with anticoagulant effects. At the same time, the number of platelets in the body also decreases, so the body's coagulation ability is reduced and the hemostasis time is prolonged.

4. Use shower gel to clean the genitals

The vagina is prone to produce odor during menstruation, especially in summer. However, it is not healthy to use shower gel to clean the vagina while taking a bath, or to repeatedly wash the vagina with hot water. Instead, it is easy to cause vaginal infection and lead to itching. Because the female vagina is normally a slightly acidic environment, which can inhibit bacterial growth, but during menstruation the vagina becomes alkaline, the resistance to bacteria is reduced, and it is easy to be infected. If you do not use professional vaginal cleaning fluid or repeatedly wash with hot water, the alkalinity will increase. Therefore, you need to choose professional vaginal cleaning liquid to clean your vagina, especially during menstruation.

5. Drinking

Also affected by hormone secretion in the body, the alcohol-degrading enzymes in women during menstruation decrease, so they get drunk more easily after drinking. What's more serious is that in order to produce enzymes to help break down alcohol, the liver's burden is significantly increased. Therefore, drinking during this period will cause more serious damage to the liver than usual, increasing the possibility of causing liver dysfunction.
