Several recommendations that will help you cope with unpleasant symptoms of the cycle.
It is advisable to avoid salty foods as much as possible during the period, which will protect you from bloating. Do not drink coffee, because caffeine often causes breast tenderness during the cycle. In addition, caffeine intake during menstruation significantly increases the level of anxiety and is a risk factor for the escalation of symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
The risk of sexually transmitted diseases increases during menstruation, therefore, you should practice protected intimate relationships. It is a known fact that pregnancy is possible during the cycle, therefore, if you do not want to welcome a new member to the family, protect yourself during sexual intercourse.
In case of a strong unpleasant odor, you should consult a gynecologist and do not try to deal with it by arbitrarily using scented soap, cream or other detergents.
The main mistake of many women is not taking painkillers on time - fight the first unpleasant symptom with medication.
You may think that the best way out of the discomfort inherent in the cycle is to lie in a chair and watch your favorite TV show, but gynecologists have a radically different opinion on this topic and advise us to move as much as possible, because during walking spasms and pain are easier to overcome.
And the most important tip - change your tampon or sanitary pad regularly.
