What causes vaginal pain during menstruation?

Menstruation is something that every woman will experience and it occurs every month. In fact, menstruation is a barometer of women's physical health.

Menstrual pain is something that all women do not want to experience. Menstruation is painful in itself, and if it is coupled with menstrual pain, the pain the body endures will be doubled, which is not something that most people can endure. Therefore, menstrual pain generally needs to be treated. So, let’s take a closer look at how to treat menstrual pain.

Keep a happy spirit and avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during the menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

Underwear should be soft, cotton, and well ventilated and breathable. It should be washed and changed frequently, and the changed underwear should be dried in the sun.

During menstruation, it is generally recommended to eat some bananas, oranges, durian, ginseng fruit, guava and other fruits.
