Tips for a more comfortable period

After girls start to report to their “good friends” in their teens, they have to endure all kinds of inconveniences for a short period of time every month. In addition to having to use a sanitary napkin all day and go to the toilet from time to time, you may also be irritable, have stomachache, bloating, and acne on your face... What's worse is that if the period doesn't come one day, it will be another worry - is it pregnancy? Or is there something wrong with the body? Oh! It's really annoying when it comes, and it's even more annoying when it doesn't! Moreover, this inconvenience will last for decades!

Since I am a woman, "good friends" are a burden that I can't get rid of. It seems that the smartest way is to get along with them in a friendly way, reduce the pain index to the lowest when encountering problems, and make myself feel good during those days!

Don't take painkillers casually

Among the inconveniences during a visit from a "good friend", the most unbearable is menstrual pain. The symptoms may be mild, such as pain causing cold sweats and nausea, while severe symptoms may cause the person to roll on the ground in pain or go into shock.

To help yourself get through the days of dysmenorrhea with ease, doctors recommend that you rest more and take painkillers to relieve discomfort. However, the principles of painkillers for treating menstrual cramps are different from those used to treat headaches and toothaches. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek medical advice from a gynecologist to prescribe medication based on your specific situation, and do not buy them casually.

Keeping warm is also very effective in relieving menstrual pain

In addition to taking medicine, keeping warm is also very effective in relieving menstrual pain. For example, our grandmothers used mugwort for fumigation, but now they use hot water bottles instead. Keeping warm can relieve menstrual cramps. On the contrary, cold foods should be avoided, such as ice cream, cold food, and salads, so as not to make the pain worse. Menstrual cramps may seem a bit mysterious because they are related to one's physical constitution. The pain may only improve once one's physical constitution becomes healthier. However, it is said that some people experience significantly reduced menstrual pain after giving birth naturally.

If you have never had menstrual pain, or your pain was not severe at the beginning, but as you age, the pain becomes more and more severe, and you take more and more painkillers, or even have to take painkillers after your period ends, you should be careful. Because this type of pain may be accompanied by other gynecological diseases, the most common of which is endometriosis, or even growth in the uterus, it is best to see a gynecologist as soon as possible.

Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently

If you are too fat or too thin, your "good friends" won't come.

When your "best friend" comes to visit, sanitary napkins and panty liners become your closest companions. Remember to change sanitary napkins frequently and avoid wearing tight pants. Try to keep your clothes dry and breathable, otherwise it is easy to cause contact dermatitis. In addition, some people have an inaccurate biological clock due to stress or other reasons, which causes the menstrual period to be prolonged. The small amount of dripping bleeding makes the time of using sanitary pads longer. At this time, you should pay more attention to changing sanitary napkins frequently, or seek help from a gynecologist to use medication to reduce the number of days of menstruation. At the same time, you should supplement with more foods high in iron, such as pork liver, animal offal, eggs, and grapes.

Weight affects menstruation

Weight is also an important factor affecting the regularity of menstruation! In this era, everyone has lost their rationality and is frantically losing weight. Some people have become so skinny that they are emaciated. Being too fat or too thin can affect your health, because a moderate amount of fat can activate the ovarian function, thus maintaining normal menstruation. Therefore, people who are too thin or lose too much weight all at once will easily miss their periods, which will also affect their endocrine system and make their bodies flat. As for people who are too fat, fat will also affect the development of follicles, which will also cause amenorrhea.

Drink more Siwu Decoction

As early as the Song Dynasty, there were records of women drinking Siwu Soup for health preservation. Siwu Decoction is composed of four kinds of medicinal materials: Angelica sinensis, red peony root, Chuanxiong and Rehmannia glutinosa. It can relieve premenstrual symptoms and menstrual pain, abdominal distension and depression. It also has a good effect in regulating menstruation and relieving pain. It can also help the menstrual blood to be discharged smoothly and replenish blood. Regular consumption can help blood circulation, making it less likely for you to have cold hands and feet. It can also make your complexion rosy, your skin smooth, and slow down aging. However, Siwu Decoction is not suitable for drinking during menstruation, otherwise it will cause excessive bleeding. In addition, because everyone's physical constitution is different, other ingredients are often added to Siwu Decoction, so it is best to ask a Chinese medicine doctor to add or subtract ingredients and quantities based on your physical condition.
