Summer vacation can bother women when their menstrual period coincides. Do the methods of delaying or postponing menstruation that women resort to in such cases have negative effects on health? What are the points to be considered in order to spend the summer holiday comfortably? Here are the explanations from the expert on the subject…
Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Op. Dr. While Azer Aras Uluğ shared what should be done during menstrual periods that may coincide with the summer vacation, he underlined that one should not use drugs unconsciously without the advice of a doctor.
Using drugs indiscriminately can be risky.
Kiss. Dr. Azer Aras Uluğ said, “Women usually try to arrange the summer vacation according to their menstrual periods, but from time to time, your body may not comply with it and bleeding may start surprisingly. In such cases, they look for the most common ways to stop bleeding.
In fact, if there is an existing menstrual bleeding, it may not always be possible to stop it. But it may be possible to reduce a bleeding that lasts for six or seven days to one or three days. It can also be formed such as spotting, with less intense bleeding. However, this is definitely not possible with the drugs to be taken randomly, but it may be possible to shorten the duration of bleeding by applying to the physician of the person, and by reducing the amount of bleeding with the drugs recommended by the physician. On the other hand, menstrual periods that are very close to holidays can cause conflicts. If there is an expected menstrual date and people are already using a birth control pill, it is possible to delay the period if they start a new box of the same birth control pill without a break after the existing contraceptive pill is finished. Those who do not use birth control pills, on the other hand, when they want to delay the upcoming period, the first thing they apply is to go to the pharmacy and use random delay medication. This can be extremely risky because drugs like these can do some harm. Therefore, the process should definitely be managed under the control of a physician. Because these drugs can cause ovarian cysts, problems in the uterine wall, hormonal disorders, and breakthrough bleeding. After your doctor has examined you, if he deems it appropriate, the expected date of menstruation can be safely postponed by using menstruation delay drugs. Said.
Delaying and delaying menstruation can increase menstrual tension.
Stating that the methods used to delay the menstrual period can increase the menstrual period tension, Azer Aras Uluğ said, “Even though you delay the period with such methods, the trouble and tension caused by the menstrual period does not go away in this period. In other words, even if you don't have a period, if you have a tension or trouble in that period, it continues. In fact, this tension continues exponentially. Because you disrupt the hormonal balance of the body with drugs. For this reason, women can protect themselves with different methods instead of disturbing the balance of the menstrual cycle.
During the menstrual period, it is possible to enter the sea or the pool with a tampon. This will be a safer method.” He spoke as
Is it permissible to swim in the sea or pool during menstruation?
Another question that women are most curious about is whether it is inconvenient to enter the sea and the pool during menstruation. Giving information on the subject, Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Op. Dr. Azer Aras Uluğ continued his words as follows.
“Actually, there is nothing wrong with swimming during menstrual periods, but there are certain rules. Choosing a dark swimsuit is like using a vaginal tampon. However, there are some criteria that should be considered in the use of vaginal tampons. Vaginal tampons may contain synthetic material, so they should be changed immediately after swimming. Because long-term use increases the risk of bacterial infection, and in some cases, it can cause what we call toxic shock syndrome. Therefore, care should be taken not to keep it in the vagina for more than four hours. Such recommendations include periods when the menstrual period is intense. At the beginning and end of the menstrual period, bleeding does not occur in the sea or pool in what we call the spotting phase. This is due to the underwater pressure. Choosing a dark swimsuit during these periods will provide camouflage of the leakage that may occur with the effect of gravity after leaving the sea and the pool. During the menstrual period, the relaxing and muscle-relaxing effect of water has the feature of reducing menstrual pain.
