　　10. Avoid wearing tight clothes during menstruation

　　Women who love beauty often wear tight clothes during menstruation to highlight their curvy figures. However, in fact, wearing tight clothes during menstruation has many dangers. Many experts say that tight clothing has an inseparable relationship with the occurrence of endometriosis. That’s because a large amount of menstrual blood flows out of a woman’s vagina, and poor ventilation can allow microorganisms to breed. Moreover, the hair follicles in the vagina are densely covered, and tight clothing can block the secretion of sweat glands.

　　Whether it is summer or winter, women's body resistance will decrease during menstruation, and their ability to withstand cold will also become worse. If they wear thin clothes during menstruation because of their love for beauty, the pores of the human body will be easily invaded by cold air, leading to a series of diseases. For women, the most serious thing is that the uterus will be cold, which will not only cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders, but also lead to infertility, sexual apathy and other phenomena.

　　According to common sense, under no special circumstances, you should wear underwear all day long and change it when you take a shower. However, you should pay attention during the menstrual period. Although the underwear is attached with sanitary napkins, the humid vaginal environment will easily produce some bacteria. These bacteria are easily affected by walking movements and run to the underwear. This means that the underwear used during menstruation is stained with several times more bacteria than usual. If a pair of underwear is worn for a whole day, the accumulation of bacteria will be alarming. Therefore, during menstruation, it is recommended to change underwear frequently.

　　Experts say that some poor-quality sanitary napkins have too much adhesive on the back. The adhesive sticks to the underwear and is difficult to completely remove from the underwear through washing. Regardless of whether the adhesive is a harmful substance, it must be an artificial chemical substance. If the underwear worn during menstruation is left for daily wear, the adhesive that has not been completely washed off may directly come into contact with a woman's vagina, making women susceptible to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis or vulvitis. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare a few pairs of underwear to wear during menstruation and wear other underwear at ordinary times.
