What to do if you have period pain?

In life, some girls express the embarrassment of “I don’t want to be a woman in my next life”. In fact, there are many reasons. It is that they are more likely to have menstrual syndrome when they have their period. These women not only feel extreme abdominal pain during their period, but they even feel uncomfortable and achy all over the body. This is when active treatment is needed. So what should you do if you have period pain?

Eat in moderation: During the menstrual period, due to the dissipation of menstrual blood, more nutrition is needed; the diet should be light and mild, easy to digest, and do not eat too much raw and cold food, because coldness causes blood to coagulate, which can easily cause dysmenorrhea, excessive menstruation or sudden interruption of menstruation, etc. Avoid excessive consumption of spicy, dry foods that damage body fluids to reduce uterine bleeding. Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep your bowel movements smooth.

Cleanliness and hygiene: Keep the vulva clean during menstruation, wipe the vulva with warm water every night, do not take a tub bath or a sitz bath, it is better to take a shower; sanitary napkins and paper should be soft and clean, and it is best to sterilize them under high pressure (commercially available) before use; menstrual belts and underwear should be changed and washed frequently to reduce the irritation of blood stains to the vulva and inner thighs. After washing, scald them with boiling water and dry them in the sun for later use; menstrual pads should be made with sterilized gauze and toilet paper. Wipe from front to back after defecation to prevent dirt from entering the vagina and causing vaginitis or uterine inflammation

Don't be too nervous if you experience symptoms such as headache, breast tenderness, fatigue, tension, general malaise, mental depression or irritability, restlessness, insomnia, pelvic heaviness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dull low back pain, nasal congestion, edema, etc. during your menstrual period.

To sum up, people who experience body aches during menstruation should not be depressed. Generally, these uncomfortable symptoms will disappear naturally after the menstruation comes. Once the patient has no other abnormal symptoms, no special treatment is actually needed. However, female friends need to pay more attention to rest during menstruation and avoid eating raw, cold and irritating foods.
