Why does dysmenorrhea hurt more when lying down?

Menstrual cramps can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. If a girl has dysmenorrhea after her period, she should pay attention to physical conditioning. If the condition is not very serious, she can adjust her diet and lifestyle. So why is it more painful when lying down?

If patients with dysmenorrhea feel more pain when lying down, it may be combined with other symptoms, such as cervical stenosis, abnormal position of the uterus, vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for medical treatment, through a complete relevant examination, find out the cause, and then treat the cause. Patients with dysmenorrhea should pay attention to getting more rest and not staying up late. They should drink more brown sugar water or warm water to relieve pain symptoms. If the pain is severe, take painkillers for pain relief. It is not recommended to take painkillers for a long time to avoid dependence. Regular moderate exercise or washing feet with warm water can promote blood circulation, which is conducive to the discharge of menstruation and relieve dysmenorrhea.

What to do about dysmenorrhea

1. Soak your feet in rose water

Rose can make blood flow faster. If menstrual pain is caused by poor blood circulation, soaking your feet in rose water can stimulate the acupoints on the soles of your feet and achieve the effect of removing blood stasis. Long-term and persistent use can achieve the best results.

2. Drink brown sugar water

When soaking brown sugar ginger water, you should pay attention to making it thicker and put less shredded ginger. The human body is relatively weak during menstruation and is easily eroded by dampness and cold. Drinking brown sugar water can remove the coldness from the body, thereby enhancing immunity, and can also drain menstrual blood more cleanly and eliminate blood clots. Don't add jujubes to the brown sugar ginger water, as it will not achieve good results and will make the problem worse.

3. Avoid cold water during menstruation

Girls with dysmenorrhea should not touch cold water or wash bed sheets during menstruation. Even warm water is not suitable for washing bed sheets. Hands and feet are very easy to get cold. They can be washed in the washing machine, and clothes can be washed after the menstrual period. This can better protect the body.

4. Not washing your hair or taking a bath

The amount of fluid is generally more in the first two days of menstruation. It is best not to wash your hair or take a bath at this time, because your immunity is too weak and you are prone to catching cold if you are not careful. The body will also be harmed by bacteria and cause inflammation. Therefore, it is more appropriate to take a bath in the later stage of menstruation when the amount of fluid is not too much.

5. Don’t get angry during your menstrual period

The menstrual period is quite special. It is best not to cry, not to get angry, and to maintain a good mood. During the menstrual period, your mood will be unstable. At this time, you will have a big mood swing due to a small thing. You must adjust it well, otherwise it will always have a more adverse effect on the menstrual period and make the symptoms of dysmenorrhea more serious.
