JAKARTA - Menstruation often affects women's physical and emotional comforts, ranging from stomach cramps, back pain, to mood swings that change easily.

This condition often has an impact on productivity, especially during daily activities such as school, work, or exercise. However, with proper care and awareness of maintaining cleanliness, women can still do activities with confidence during menstruation.

Obstetric and gynecologist specialist, dr. Beeonie, BMedSc, SpOG-KFER, said that hormonal changes during menstruation cycles are natural and can affect women's physical and psychological.

However, maintaining the cleanliness of the female area is the key to staying comfortable during that period.

"Menstruation that comes regularly is actually a sign of a healthy reproductive condition. But there are symptoms such as cramps, headaches, or mood swings that can interfere with routines. It is important to work around it with the right treatment," said dr. Beeonenie at a women's cleaning product launch event, as quoted by ANTARA.

One of the important things to note is the selection of sanitary napkins that are suitable for menstruation. He suggests using sanitary napkins that can absorb well, replace them regularly, and wear soft underwear such as cotton so that the skin remains dry and avoid irritation.

In addition to maintaining cleanliness, women are also advised not to ignore uncomfortable feelings that feel unusual.

"If there are complaints such as too severe pain or irregular cycles, it is better to consult directly with specialist doctors. Don't just rely on your own assumptions or search for information," he concluded.
