How to cope with your periods

Not every girl has problems with her monthly periods. Some seem to sail through them as if there was no difference between these and other normal days, while others go through hell. Cramps, sluggishness, mood swings and a general disinclination to do anything are often seen in young girls.
However, here are a few tips that may help to tide over these difficult days without too many problems.
How to cope with your periods
  • You have to choose your dress carefully during your periods. Avoid wearing synthetics, especially in summer. Always wear cotton panties that will help your skin breathe especially in the groin area.
  • You may go swimming if you are using a tampon but definitely make the session short and try to avoid being in your wet suit for too long.
  • You cannot use the pool if you are using sanitary pads.
  • It is better to avoid sex during these days as there are more chances of infection and inflammation.
  • Wash your genital area at least twice a day and with clean hands. Use a gentle, mild soap only on the external genitals and go front to back to prevent germs entering the vagina from the anus.How to cope with your periods
  • Avoid using a douche in the vagina. This will upset the delicate balance present naturally in that area. Should you use a douche, remember that the resultant unbalanced vaginal microflora will weaken the natural barrier which prevents infection and also irritate and inflame the vagina.
  • Never insert, even for fun, unclean things or devices that are a potential threat to the delicate skin in the area.
  • Comfortable, hygienic sanitary pads, napkins and tampons are freely available these days. Use these and remember to change them at least 4 or 5 times a day depending on the flow of blood.
  • If you use a tampon, remember to wash your hands before inserting it. Never use a tampon for the night.
  • Keep washing your genitals many times during the day and whenever you change.
