Teach you some ways to deal with it

During menstruation, the body's resistance decreases and emotions are prone to fluctuate. Some people may experience symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue. Due to menstrual blood loss, especially menorrhagia, the main components of blood such as plasma protein, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, etc. will be lost with each menstruation. Therefore, within 1 to 5 days after the menstruation is over, protein, minerals and blood-enriching foods should be supplemented. Choose foods and Chinese medicines that have both beauty-enhancing and blood-replenishing effects, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, water chestnuts, spinach, cherries, longan meat, lychee meat, carrots, apples, angelica, safflower, peach blossom, cooked rehmannia, and polygonatum.

During menstruation, you should also supplement some foods that are beneficial to the "flow of menstruation", such as mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, milk, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, longan and other warm tonic foods. When you have symptoms such as poor appetite and back pain, you should choose foods that are nutritious, spleen-strengthening, appetite-stimulating, and easily digestible, such as dates, noodles, and coix seed porridge. To maintain nutritional balance, fresh vegetables and fruits should be consumed together. Food should be mainly fresh, which is not only delicious and easy to absorb, but also has less nutritional damage.

For most women, this "good friend" who comes to visit every month will cause more or less inconvenience, and they want to stay away from the troubles of menstruation. Some maintenance methods are essential.

1. Supplement potassium and iron. Potassium can ease mood, suppress pain, prevent infection, and reduce menstrual blood loss. Supplement with iron-rich foods, such as fish, various animal livers, egg yolks, etc.

2. Control the amount of exercise. Exercise is not absolutely prohibited during menstruation, but high-intensity and high-volume exercise will cause excessive menstrual bleeding or affect the normal position of the uterus.

3. During menstruation, you should avoid excessive cold or heat stimulation (cold showers and saunas), especially the lower abdomen. Do not get caught in the rain, wade or swim, and do not sit in damp, shady places or near the air ducts of air conditioners and electric fans.

4. Do not beat your back during menstruation. Beating the waist and back at this time will make the pelvic cavity more congested and blood flow faster, leading to excessive menstruation, prolonged menstruation, and more severe back pain.

If you experience lower back pain during menstruation, today's introduction will definitely help you. You will also know how to deal with it. Women must take good care of themselves during menstruation and avoid catching cold, especially in terms of diet, they should pay attention to light food.
