What to do about dysmenorrhea

1. Balanced diet

Dr. Budov said: "Most women skip staple foods and eat too much sweets and salty foods." Although a healthy diet cannot eliminate menstrual cramps, it has a miraculous effect on improving the overall physical condition. Avoid overly sweet or salty foods, as they can cause bloating and lethargy. Eat more vegetables, fruits, chicken, fish, and eat small and frequent meals as much as possible.

2. Take vitamins

Many patients have experienced less menstrual pain after taking appropriate vitamins and minerals every day.

3. Supplement minerals

In fact, many minerals, such as magnesium, can also help relieve menstrual cramps. Scientific studies and research have found that women who regularly take high-quality protein have less menstrual pain than those who do not take it regularly. The content of magnesium in the human body is very important because it enables the body to digest and absorb calcium properly. Why not increase your calcium and magnesium intake the night before your period?

Avoid caffeine: Caffeine, which is often found in ground coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate, can cause tension and anxiety, and may lead to discomfort during menstruation. Therefore, caffeine should be avoided. In addition, the vegetable oils contained in coffee can also irritate the colon.
