5 things you should avoid doing when you are menstruating
Many women still see menstruation as something dirty and shameful. Did you ever hide that you had a period for your husband? Have you hidden the absorbent in the clothes for anyone to see as you walk into the bathroom? Have you ever been ashamed to give the reason why you can not enter the pool? Have you ever asked your mother or friend several times if the blood had stained your pants? If you have ever done one of these things it is a sign that you also see menstruation with a certain prejudice. And that prejudice may also be affecting your health.
Menstruation is uncomfortable and causes some type of pain for most women, be it colic, back pain or malaise. In addition to having to deal with these pains and discomforts, we also have the idea that we must hide from the world that menstruation exists.
And we know that trying to pretend it does not exist is impossible. Menstruation should be viewed naturally, after all, it is something that happens to all women at least once a month.
Here are 5 things you should not do while you are menstruating:
1. Stay with the absorbent for too long
The absorbent should be changed several times a day, whether you choose to stay the full day or several hours with the same inner or outer absorbent, you are opening doors for infections. When it comes to internal absorbent, all care is little. There are several reports of young people who have forgotten the internal absorbent for several days and suffered from the Toxic Shock Syndrome that can even lead to death. So go to the bathroom as many times as necessary and change your absorbent several times a day.
2. Request an absorbent secretly
Asking for an absorbent because you forgot to bring one should not be an embarrassing situation. As I’ve already said, menstruation is a part of women’s lives and men and women know that. So no need to worry about whispering for anyone to hear or also worry about if any man will listen.
3. Do not do physical exercises
Some women are afraid of doing physical exercises because they believe that blood can leak or the scent gets strong. The easiest way to avoid strong smell and leaks is to bathe and change absorbent frequently. It is worth remembering that we all exude odors, men and women. And it is very likely that other people will not be able to smell what you feel about yourself. Be sure to exercise for this reason.
4. Hiding the absorbent when going to the bathroom
Many already did it when they were younger and I bet you did too. We need not deal with this subject with such embarrassment. I believe the first step in ending this prejudice is to stop hiding the absorbent every time you need to change it.
5. Lying to your husband
Some women are afraid or embarrassed to tell their husband that they are menstruating and end up inventing other reasons for not having intimacy with the husband. Be honest with him. The menstrual period is something normal and he already knows that it happens. Treat menstruation with your husband as normal in life.
Well, it could be a little frustrating to get this monthly period off your hook, but it is also important that you get to also avoid the above mentioned as menstrauation is natural.
