For Women: 8 Things You Should Never Do When On Your Period
All these things might cause discomfort but let’s face it, periods are a natural occurrence. Their presence indicates good health.
There are, however, a couple of things you should avoid doing in order to make those few days in the month a little more bearable.
Periods may cause some pain and discomfort but you can take specific steps to ease the symptoms
Here are 8 things you should not be doing during your periods:
-
Giving in to salt cravings
Table of Contents
Foods with a high salt content are not good for you when you’re menstruating because they can worsen your cramps. What’s more, it can cause severe bloating and add to the discomfort.
-
Skipping meals and eating junk food
Skipping meals during your periods isn’t a good idea because it can severely affect your energy levels, making you feel lethargic and irritable. This, however, doesn’t mean you replace actual meals with junk food. Junk food contains high amounts of salt and sugar, contributing to issues like bloating and discomfort.
-
Drinking a lot of coffee
This is one of the worst things you can do when you’re menstruating! High caffeine content can exacerbate your pain and also contribute to breast tenderness. You might crave caffeine but you will definitely need to reduce the intake of coffee.
-
Using a douche
Douching to clean yourself down there can prove to be very harmful. It can cause several health issues like infections and an increased risk of developing STDs by interfering with the vagina’s natural barriers against bacteria.
-
Wearing the same sanitary product all day long
It doesn’t matter if you’re using a sanitary pad or a tampon, wearing the same product for more than 4 to 6 hours will prove to be a breeding ground for bacteria and will lead to the development of bad odour. In addition, doing so can also cause skin rashes and TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome).
-
Waxing or shaving
When you’re on your period, avoid hair removal. The area is sensitive and the pull of the wax strips can hurt, adding to your discomfort. Shaving can prove to be an extremely messy affair due to the period flow. In case you end up with a cut due to the shaving, it might lead to infection. So, plan it after a week of your period to reduce the risk of pain and discomfort.
-
Having unprotected sex
First of all, it’s absolutely normal to have sex when you are menstruating but having sex without protection during periods is a bad idea! If you’re not looking at starting a family just yet, you should avoid taking the chance. Plus, protected sex is also a way of avoiding STDs. Period, or no period, always practice safe sex in order to steer clear of infections and STDs.
-
Smoking
We all know smoking is dangerous for our health but women who smoke during their period are more likely to experience severe pain. So, it’s better to kick the butt.

How can high heels make you feel pain?
Table of Contents
All the joints, nerves, and tissues in your body are connected, and can impact one another. Your plantar fascia under the foot, connects to your calf and down to your under thigh and hamstring. The hamstrings connect to the hip joint area or pelvis, which is connected to the spine.
Wearing heels alters your posture, alignment and balance, causing you to stand with your back arched, and mounting pressure on the ball of your feet. This causes you to bear weight on the wrong areas, and could lead to pain in your feet, back and knees.
Preventing Back Pain From Wearing Heels
For many women, not wearing heels is not an option. I’m not saying you should stop wearing heels, but you can take some steps to avoid developing pain that accompanies wearing heels.
- Reduce the amount of time you wear them.
- Wear lower inched heels, preferably 2 inches, the closer your feet are to the ground, the better.
- Avoid pointy toe heels, which can put a strain on the nerves in your feet, and also cause corns and calluses.
- Wear high heels with better support, such as wedges or platforms, for better balance.
- Buy shoes with soft/ leather insoles for comfort.
- Massage, stretch, flex your feet after taking off your heels.
- Use arch inserts and orthotics to align the feet and distribute weight.
- Alternate footwear, so you aren’t wearing the same type of shoes every day
Routines to help you with pain relief
- Place a 1-inch book on the floor. You can stack up the book to 2-inches when you start to feel comfortable, but don’t exceed a 2- inches.
- While standing upright, place the ball of your foot (base of the big toe ) on the book and your heels on the ground
- Lean forward and pull your toes up, you can bend your knees a bit for convenience.
- Hold the position for 30 seconds and do the alternate routine for both feet.
- You may not necessarily have to stop wearing heels to reduce pain, but make better choices when it comes to your preference of heels. What you wear can affect your health. Make sure to try out these tips and tricks if you wear heels regularly, you’ll be sure to get relief.
If you can’t get relief using the methods suggested above, See a physiotherapist to help evaluate the cause of your pain and to provide relief to your pain.
