Menstrual Health and Hygiene



        -   Dr. Vikas Chothe
             ( MD Sch. PGDEMS )
Hygiene
From Head to Toe
Hygiene

   From the Greek
    word “hygies”

      Meaning
  “healthy, sound”
MENSTRUAL HYGIENE

 Menstrual hygiene is very
  important to prevent infection,
  local itching & bad odor.


 “good personal hygiene” will keep
  you confident during these days.
What is Personal Hygiene?




   •Regular Routine of Personal Care
   •Washing and Grooming daily
Take bath daily
Hair

          Brushing your hair cleans
           and stimulates hair and
           scalp.

          Comb hair daily.

          Shampoo regularly
Fingernails and
    Toenails
 File fingernails in one
  direction
 Cut toenails straight–
  never cut into corners
 Protect against
  ingrown toenails by
  avoiding tight
  shoes, very high heels
Acne
            What makes pimples worse?

   Oil-based makeup, suntan oil, hair jells and spray.

   For girls, menstruation

   Squeezing or picking at blemishes

   Hard scrubbing of the skin
Pimples Myths
1: Does chocolate cause acne?
A: NO

2: Does Extra washing help clear
      pimples?
A: No, the extra scrubbing
irritates skin and could make
them worse.

3: Does acne leave scars?
A: Yes, you can reduce the
scarring by NOT PICKING
and avoid excessive scrubbing.
Change and wash
your sleepwear and
pillowcase regularly.




                  Change clothes
                  daily.
Wear cotton under
garments
instead of synthetic ones.
Sanitary napkins
should be
changed at least
every 4 hours or
every time you
go to the
bathroom.
-If cloth is used ,it should be washed
well before reuse, and not used for more
than three months.
-Cloth should be very soft .Rough or
thick cloth can cause irritation & itching.
-Always wipe from front to the back.
Wash with soap &
water
before and after changing your pad
and urination.
Keep the area
between the legs dry




   To avoid soreness and chaffing
Do not hold back urine when you
want to urinate, as it causes stasis
in the bladder and promotes
infection .
Dr. Vikas Chothe on menstrual hygiene- 2
The three pillars of healthy life
[Charak Samhita, Su, 11:35]:




 Ahar


 Nidra
 (regular sleep)

 Brahmacharya
 (Abstinence form drugs, alcohol, and
   physical relationships)

 Healthy parent-daughter relationship.
A balanced diet
Adolescent girls have high needs of energy
because their bodies are growing and they are
physically active.
Take citrus fruits
Then iron rich food
to compensate for the blood loss and prevent anemia.
Calcium rich food
 To strengthen bones
Calcium helps
to alleviate
some of the
symptoms
associated with
PMS
Drink plenty of water for good
amount of urine.
There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’
              foods – it is the overall balance
              of the diet that is important.
herbal teas
Dietary Changes



                                    Eat frequent and smaller
                                    portions of foods high in
                                     complex carbohydrates




Johnson SR. Obstet Gynecol. 2004.
Warm bath or heating pad helps
in cramps…
Manya and kati vasti
Stress can affect the length between periods. Hence…

Stress management
Yoga
The Science of Life
Asanas …
Yogasanas for PMS

•Tikonasana
•Sarvangasana
•Halasana
•Virabhadrasana
•Tadasana
•Uttanasana
Benefits of yoga…
• develops better
  posture
• improve self-esteem
• lower stress
• release muscle tension
• increase flexibility
• to control the vrittis
  [propensities]
• Myth: Females who are menstruating
  cannot exercise (including swimming)
  until it is over.
• Fact: False, it is possible to exercise when
  menstruating including swimming.
  During menstruation, a girl can do any
  activities she normally does.


       Copyright : Dr. Chothe. V.R
Brisk walk and mild exercise
Meditation




       "Watching your breath"
Disposal of napkins …..




We use sanitary napkins for our convenience and dispose them off
randomly in the bin, or in the toilet sparing little thought to what
                         happens after…..
Our rag pickers have to handle badly wrapped or unwrapped
                         napkins or




   the plumber is caught in embarrassing situation when
                   drainage gets choked.
Sanitary Towel Disposal Bags
Preparing newspaper bags
  with recyclable newspaper, glue, and thread helps in
disposing sanitary napkins in a healthy, environmentally
           friendly, wastepicker friendly way
Be prepared for menstruation.

 Keep track of your periods on a calendar.
 Carry a pad in purse or backpack a couple days
  before you expect your period.
 Change pads every few hours as needed.
 Do NOT flush pads, throw in waste basket after
  wrapping in paper bags.

Thank you
