There is no definitive standard to judge whether menstruation is good or bad, as each person's physical condition, age, and menstrual pattern are different. As long as the menstrual cycle occurs regularly each month without abnormalities such as early or delayed periods, there is generally no cause for concern. During menstruation, sexual intercourse should be avoided, exposure to cold water should be prevented, and excessive fatigue should be avoided. Strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor should not be performed. Personal hygiene should be maintained by frequently washing and changing undergarments.
