MENSTRUAL CUPS AND HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE

MENSTRUAL CUPS AND HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE

Considerations for choosing the right cup;

Firmness

Women with bladder problems should avoid firmly fitting cups. Such cups can pressure the bladder making them feel like peeing always. They should buy a softer cup for more comfort. Firmer cups are for ladies with stronger pelvic muscles and are physically active.

Brand

If you want to maintain good health, buy cups from legitimate brands. Menstrual cups are medical devices that get inserted in the body, thus should not be dubious. If you pick cups designed from inferior materials, they may break after some time, making them unsustainable.

Menses flow

If you use disposable pads, know the number of times you change it in a day. But pads may not be the best since they lack an absorbency rate. Tampons may help determine it. For instance, if a 12ml capacity type serves for three hours, then a 25 ml menstrual cup can go for a good six hours.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
