Women have a few days of irritability every month, so they don't need any special care during this time. Because in addition to physical changes, emotional fluctuations can also be significant. So how many days does chest swelling last before menstruation, and what special precautions need to be taken during menstruation? Today, the editor will tell you about it. Let's follow the editor to take a look.
1、 Breast swelling before menstruation can last for a few days
It will swell for about four to five days. This is because the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body increase before menstruation, which stimulates breast hyperplasia, leading to increased breast swelling and pain. After menstruation, the levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease, so breast swelling and pain disappear and breasts become smaller. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. The editor suggests wearing a suitable loose fitting corset at this time, avoiding tight fitting clothes, being calm and not angry, having a light diet, and not staying up late.
2、 What to pay attention to during menstruation
1. Not suitable for sexual activity. During menstruation, the cervix is slightly open. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can easily introduce bacteria from the external genitalia and perineum into the vagina, cervix, and even uterus, causing endometritis or acute appendicitis (including fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis.
2. It is not advisable to engage in vigorous exercise. Exercise during menstruation is not absolutely prohibited, but it should be avoided as much as possible, such as high jump, running, etc. Otherwise, it will worsen menstrual discomfort, such as lower back pain, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders.
3. It is not advisable to eat raw, cold, or salty foods. Eating raw or cold foods or drinking cold drinks during menstruation can affect the contraction of the uterus, causing poor menstrual blood flow and leading to problems such as dysmenorrhea. If you eat salty food, it will aggravate the retention of water and sodium, leading to headache, edema and other problems.
The above is all the content prepared by the editor today about how many days before menstruation and what to pay attention to during menstruation. We hope it can be helpful to friends who have doubts. The editor suggests that female friends should pay extra attention during their menstrual period, not easily catch a cold, and take good care of their bodies.
