Regular menstruation is one of the key indicators of general health and wellbeing. Several medical disorders, including diabetes, thyroid, PCOS, celiac disease, and others, might have irregular periods.

Wear loose fitted clothes
Wearing breathable underwear, such cotton underwear, is advised during menstruation. Cotton lessens the possibility of bacterial growth, improves menstrual blood absorption, and keeps the area dry.

Menstruation is not pleasant and can cause cramps, bloating, stomach problems, irritation, and other problems. Eating a balanced, healthful diet during your menstrual cycle can help alleviate these symptoms to a larger degree.

Dispose of use products properly
This keeps everything clean and stops illnesses from spreading. Used sanitary pads should be wrapped in paper and thrown in a special bin. Don't ever dispose of them in the toilet.

Avoid scented products
Using scented products irritates the skin, throws off the pH balance, and can cause bacterial infections. For this reason, it's crucial to use menstrual products free of chemicals and fragrances, and to wash your genitalia gently.

Change sanitary products regularly
Regular replacement of sanitary goods stops the formation of bacteria and illnesses. Tampons should be changed every 4–8 hours, menstrual cups every 6–8 hours.
