How can I relieve my stomach pain during my period?

Women go through two very special stages in their lives. The first is the "period" during puberty, and the second is the "menopause" during menopause. In the middle of this period, if there is no pregnancy, the "period" will occur on time every month. Many women have stated that the arrival of menstruation has caused them great pain, especially the onset of "menstrual pain", which is unbearable. The "menstrual period" that comes on time every month is actually the basic metabolism of the uterine wall. Under the stimulation of estrogen in the body, the uterine wall is regularly updated to maintain the health of the woman's uterus. Menstrual pain that occurs in the absence of any symptoms is called functional dysmenorrhea, which is more common in women who have not yet given birth. Functional dysmenorrhea can be alleviated by doing the following:

1. Do a good job of keeping your abdomen warm

It is already autumn now. If the menstrual period comes but the abdomen is not well kept warm, it is easy to cause menstrual pain. Menstrual cramps can also be alleviated by keeping the abdomen warm, such as applying a hot water bottle to the abdomen, or drinking some brown sugar ginger water to dispel cold and keep warm, which are beneficial to the blood circulation in the uterus and relieve dysmenorrhea.

2. Don’t exercise too much

Women should be aware that they cannot engage in strenuous exercise, which is not good for the metabolism of the female uterus. However, moderate exercise is still possible, such as yoga, walking, etc., which can not only promote blood circulation, but also distract their attention, thereby improving the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

3. Vitamin B6 helps

Some dysmenorrhea is related to high nervous anxiety, especially for girls whose menstruation is about to come. When facing things they don’t understand, they will always have high nervous and emotional anxiety, which leads to functional dysmenorrhea. In this case, you can take vitamin B6 appropriately, which can help overcome stress, improve sleep quality and relieve menstrual pain.

4. Avoid intake of cold foods

Some women do not have menstrual pain problems, but if they do not pay attention to their diet, eating cold food will cause menstrual pain. In this case, it means that you should not eat cold food and you should try to reduce it during your menstrual period. Try to eat foods that nourish the stomach and warm the uterus, so as to relieve dysmenorrhea.

5. Not suitable for overwork

Women should avoid excessive fatigue and heavy physical work during their menstrual period, because at this stage, the body's resistance and immunity have been significantly reduced. If you are overworked, it is easy to cause menstrual pain, back pain and other symptoms. Women who have menstrual pain will also aggravate the degree of menstrual pain if they do physical work at this stage, so don't overwork at this stage.

6. Taking painkillers

If a woman's menstrual pain is very severe and has affected her daily life or work, she can see a doctor and take painkillers to relieve the pain. However, if you can bear the pain, try not to use painkillers to avoid causing neurological dysfunction, insomnia, memory loss and other problems.

Finally, I would like to remind you that in addition to primary dysmenorrhea, there is also a type of dysmenorrhea called secondary dysmenorrhea. Its occurrence is related to gynecological diseases, especially for married and pregnant women. If you also have dysmenorrhea problems, you must be checked in time.
