    Some of the dos are as follows one can have sex during menstruation as it is very safe and the chances of getting pregnant are nil. Your daughter should make use of nice sanitary pads which doesn't cause her infection in the future. As it is her first menstruation then it will have just few cycles of it in the beginning. She should follow some moderate exercises in order to relive the cramps.
    The don'ts are it was myths earlier that your daughter shouldn't have bath and go to any religious place. She should not play or do any exercises but this has now changed completely. But many people even follow it today.

    Some of the dos & donts during menstrual period are:
    *Consume lots of fluids and fresh fruits.
    *Try to take iron- and-antioxidant-rich food like oysters, shrimps, salmon, apples, turnip greens, almonds, chick beans, kidney beans, broccoli, walnuts, and cashews. Take spinach, cabbage and other green leafy vegetables for the mineral source.
    *Consume more milk and milk products for the increased calcium needs of your body.
    *Include fibre in your diet for constipation that sometimes occurs with menstruation.
    *Try to incorporate cinnamon, turmeric, mint, parsley, ginger and basil in your diet as they are known to have potent analgesic and medicinal properties and are very useful in relieving menstrual pain and cramps.
    *Hygiene is of utmost importance during period. Use good quality sanitary napkins or tampons and change often.
    *Avoid any exercise which exerts excessive pressure on your uterus.
    *Try to avoid caffeine as much as possible as it has a pain-enhancing effect during the menstrual cycle.
    *Excessive spices are also known to cause acidity or increased gastric motility. Artificial sweeteners are also best avoided.
    *Avoid carrying heavy weights during you period.
