Introduction
The term "nine-valent vaccine" usually refers to the nine-valent HPV vaccine, which is a vaccine designed to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It is generally not recommended to receive the nine-valent HPV vaccine when menstruation is only slightly remaining, as it may reduce preventive efficacy, increase side effects, disrupt the menstrual cycle, lower immunity, and raise the risk of infection. Typically, vaccination can be administered 3 to 7 days after menstruation ends. After vaccination, individuals should closely monitor their physical condition.

Nine-valent usually refers to the nine-valent HPV vaccine, a vaccine designed to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It is generally not recommended to receive the nine-valent HPV vaccine when menstruation is only just ending, as this may reduce preventive effectiveness, increase side effects, disrupt the menstrual cycle, lower immunity, and raise the risk of infection. The vaccine should be administered only after menstruation has completely finished.

1. Reduced preventive effectiveness

Residual menstrual flow indicates that menstruation has not fully ended. Receiving the nine-valent HPV vaccine during this period may reduce its effectiveness due to hormonal imbalances or incomplete recovery of immune system function.

2. Increased side effects

The nine-valent HPV vaccine may cause discomfort at the injection site such as swelling and pain, or other side effects like nausea, headache, and dizziness. During menstruation, physical condition is generally weaker; vaccination at this time may lead to more frequent or severe side effects.

3. Disruption of menstrual cycle

Vaccination may affect endocrine function, leading to increased menstrual flow, prolonged cycles, or irregular menstruation.

4. Reduced immunity

Immunity and resistance are relatively low during menstruation. If the nine-valent HPV vaccine is administered at this time and significant adverse reactions occur, immune function may decline further.

5. Increased risk of infection

During menstruation, the endometrium and cervical mucosa are thinner. The immune response triggered by the nine-valent HPV vaccine may temporarily reduce resistance, thereby increasing susceptibility to infections.

In general, the nine-valent HPV vaccine can be administered 3–7 days after menstruation ends. After vaccination, individuals should monitor their physical condition closely. If obvious symptoms such as swelling or hard nodules develop, prompt medical attention is advised.

When is the best time to have moxibustion after menstruation ends?
You can perform moxibustion 3 days after menstruation ends. At this time, the endometrium has mostly healed, so the thermal stimulation from moxibustion will not cause abnormal bleeding, and it avoids irritating the reproductive system before it has fully recovered. If discomfort such as abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding occurs after moxibustion, stop immediately and seek medical attention promptly. Moxibustion has the effects of warming the meridians, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis. When menstruation has just ended,

Can I eat bird's nest during my menstrual period, and why?
Bird's nest is rich in high-quality protein, amino acids, and other nutrients. For women with balanced or slightly deficient constitutions, consuming bird's nest during menstruation can help replenish essential nutrients, alleviate menstrual fatigue and weakness, and, due to its mild nature, moderate consumption will not significantly affect the menstrual cycle. However, for women with a heat-prone constitution, eating bird's nest during menstruation may exacerbate internal heat, leading to symptoms such as dry mouth and sore throat.
