It is a three-point poison, and some drugs must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Taking some drugs during menstruation may affect women's endocrine disorders. Sometimes, in order to avoid the side effects of drugs on the body, other substitutes are suggested to reduce the harm. So what medicine can't you take during menstruation? Let's take a look together.

What medicine can't you take during menstruation?

1, sex hormone drugs

The synthesis and metabolic balance of sex hormones in women are closely related to menstrual cycle. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use sex hormones during menstruation to avoid menstrual disorders. For example, androgen can cause menstrual decrease, menopause, irregular cycle and so on. And progesterone (progesterone) can cause breast pain or irregular vaginal bleeding.

2. Vaginal external drugs for treating gynecological infections.

Lotions, suppositories and effervescent tablets for treating vaginal inflammation should be stopped. Because during menstruation, the uterine mucosa is congested, the cervix is slack, and there is blood in the vagina, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. If the vagina is used locally at this time, a little carelessness will lead to bacteria retrograde invasion of uterine cavity and endometrium.

3. Anticoagulant

Anticoagulants can cause menorrhagia and even massive bleeding, and should be avoided during menstruation, such as coumarin, heparin and thrombolytic agents.

4. Diet pills

Most diet pills contain ingredients that suppress appetite. If used during menstruation, it may lead to menstrual disorder, polyuria or dysuria, palpitation and anxiety, and even amenorrhea.

What precautions and dietary taboos do girls have during menstruation?

1, not suitable for sex.

During menstruation, the cervix is slightly open. During menstrual intercourse, it is easy to bring germs around vulva and perineum into vagina, cervix and even uterus, causing endometritis or acute adnexitis and pelvic peritonitis. In addition, menstrual sexual intercourse may also lead to the shedding of endometrium back to the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis. The above diseases may lead to increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period and dysmenorrhea.

2, should not be strenuous exercise

Exercise is not absolutely forbidden during menstruation, but strenuous exercise, such as high jump and running, should be avoided as far as possible, otherwise it will aggravate menstrual discomfort, such as backache and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorder. Avoid swimming during menstruation, because the cervix is slightly open during menstruation, bacteria are easy to invade the uterine cavity, increase the chance of infection and cause various gynecological inflammations, so don't swim during menstruation.

3, should not eat cold, salty food.

Eating cold food or drinking cold drinks during menstruation will affect the contraction of the uterus, leading to poor menstrual blood discharge and dysmenorrhea. In addition, due to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone during menstruation, water and sodium retention and excessive antidiuretic hormone, many women tend to become irritable and anxious. If you eat salty food, it will aggravate water and sodium retention, leading to headaches, edema and other problems.

4. Avoid drinking alcohol and drinking strong tea and coffee.

During menstruation, the proportion of hangover enzymes in women decreases, and the ability to decompose alcohol decreases accordingly. Drinking a lot at this time is not only easier to get drunk than usual, but also it is difficult for alcohol to be excreted and left in the body, causing harm. However, strong tea and coffee contain high caffeine, which can easily lead to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstrual period or excessive bleeding. At the same time, tannic acid in tea combines with iron in food in the intestine, which further affects the absorption of iron and causes anemia and other problems.

5. It is not advisable to eat drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Use drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis with caution during menstruation, otherwise it will easily increase menstrual flow and even cause menstrual bleeding or anemia.
