Can I soak my feet during menstruation?

　　Patient gender: Female

　　Patient age: 24

　　I usually develop the habit of doing it every night sleep I have become accustomed to foot bathing. My mother-in-law came recently and she doesn’t like to wash my feet. She said it’s not troublesome to wash my feet every day if they are clean. Yesterday when I had my period and I was soaking my feet, my mother-in-law said that I shouldn’t soak my feet during my menstrual period, otherwise my period will be prolonged. I was shocked. Experts, is it true that you can’t wash your feet?

　　Experts answer for you:

　　Of course you can, and there are benefits. Not easy to catch cold or heat during menstruation blister Keeping feet warm is beneficial to blood circulation. You can use hot water, but the temperature should not be too high. After all, promoting blood circulation will increase secretions. If the soles of the feet are hot, the whole body will be hot. It is not harmful to the body. Just don't use a foot bath to soak your feet. Just use ordinary bubbles.
